Well, all I can tell you is what I'm running. 266 mhz, 64 megs ram, and probably around 3000 rules. Yup, I'll get an exact count later. But I test and run all the great rules people send me for the emporium. I am using spamd and I think you will see a bug difference there.
The system runs nothing else. Nothing. No telnetd, no ftp, no local users, ect.... I have to get up off my butt and walk to the computer room on all my servers. Nice and secure ;) I haven't had a single crash, but no load isn't that great.
