I would put a couple of Dell 1650 single Xeon 1 GB memory. You could just load balance with round robin on your firewall or at the DNS level. I my experience a few small web servers will do better than one large one. Just my 2 cents.

None of them gets more than 5,000 hits per day. Now one of the partners wants us to run one that could have up to 500,000 hits per day. Supposedly all of the pages on this new site will be static HTML pages, PDFs and such. There may be some Flash or clickable maps but supposedly that's it. Can anyone provide assistance on what type of equipment may be required. I currently have as my web server a Dell Poweredge 4600 with dual Xeon 2.0 processors and 2 GB memory. I also have a 3Mb Internet connection and a PIX 520 firewall. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.
