That's killer horsepower,

We are running dual 800's right now with a  gig of ram and other than the
spam we receiving the other day our server setup has never had a hiccup.
Even then they only hiccupped at receiving over 1,000,000 spam in a 12 hour
period.

Isaias,

We currently receive about 70-80% of SPAM.  Are servers are  a little 
bit overkill for our needs, about 3,000 - 4,000 e-mails a day.  But the 
server has never hiccuped in over a year now.  Only need to reboot to 
patch windows.  Its also weathered a couple of SPAM floods as well,  
(10,000 emails an hour).

Dual Xeon 2.55GHz 533 Bus
4GB DDR RAM
RAID 5+HOTFIX Array (All 250GB Serial ATA HDs 7200RPM)

....Its way overkill, but I love horsepower!
