If you mean lots of _transactions_ with few inserts per transaction you should get a
RAID controller w/ battery backed write-back
cache. Nothing else will improve your write performance by nearly as much. You could
sell the RAM and one of the CPU's to pay for
it ;-)
If you have lots of inserts but all in a few transactions then it's not quite so
critical.
