For CF servers I would always recommend using at least two
processors.
For years the configuration of choice has been AMD processors
with a Tyan mainboard (in fact, we even use Tyan dual CPU boards
with OpenBSD, which doesn't do SMP (yet)). With the arrival of
the Opteron the preference for AMD has only increased. Opterons
offer per-page memory protection, which offers significant
security advantages on operating systems that know how to use it.
And the only processor from Intel offering that is the Itanium.
