We've got much the same setup, however, I would also add in the caveat that
your database system performance will also be fairly dependent on hard
drive performance. So take a look at RAID-5 setups with at least 7,200 rpm
(and preferably 10,000 rpm) drives. Drive seek times will effect many of
your queries and drive transfer rates will effect large results sets.
