My theory, based entirely on what I have read in this thread, is that a low end server (really a small workstation) with an Intel Dual Core CPU is likely an excellent PG choice for the lowest end.I'll try to snag an Intel Dual Core workstation in the near future and report back DBT2 scores comparin

Not directly, but the choice of processor influences which
chipsets/mainboards are available, which in turn has some impact on
the number of RAM slots. (According to our hardwar

Good to know. We have been waiting for performance comparisons on
the new Intel CPUs.
