Thanks this is very usefull info.

with that kinda of load, things like MyDoom or some of the other recentl
nasties had little impact on performance, mail was still scanned and
routed in a timely manner?
I think from searching the archive and reading here that i will go with
the single faster CPU option, with loads of RAM.
