yes it will help.... but Â90 for 512MB is expensive!
and I meant 2 machines to gateway all five.....but I do concur it's a bit overkill when budgets are tight.

Hmm...
So if I get a 512MB strip and add it to the 384MB making it 896MB should be enough to stop spamassassin bogging down the server somewhat chronic?
Your second idea makes lots of sense, but for a small office (~8 people) with an extremely limited budget, I don't think it's really worth it, especially that I'm getting difficulity in getting Â90 for 512MB let alone a new computer ;)
Thanks very much for your help though, much appreciated!

that amount of memory is not alot for use with SA. I find you need at least 512mb, esp when I've got lots of rule additions, a local caching namesever to the uri-rbls etc etc
also you might to throttle back the amount of children spamd is spawning as there is a known issue with spamd generating too many forks. Theres a patch or too floating the bugzilla and this email list that will be incorporated into 3.1 when it appears, but they seem to work fine with 3.0.2
Also have you considered a couple of machines acting as a front end to your actual email boxes, therefore taking the load off your servers?
