You're not getting much of a bump with this server. The CPU is
incrementally faster -- in the absolutely best case scenario where your
queries are 100% cpu-bound, that's about ~25%-30% faster.
What about using Dual Athlon MP instead of a Xeon? Would be much less expensive,
but have higher performa

I have been offered the following 1U server which I can just about
afford:
1U server
Intel Xeon 2.8GHz 512K cache 1
