Our test server is a lowly Compaq ProLiant 1600 single processor 450 MHZ machine with 512 mb of RAM, which will soon be upgraded to it's max of 1 GB of RAM.
The mobo is upgradable to dual processors, and the processors are pretty cheap for such a vintage machine.
What kind of performance benefit

depending on your budget, timeline and importance of the app and its
intended usersr, I'd forget about that project...
I know someone who had dual 800 running with 1gb of ram and only with
win2K and performance was slow. Its running cfmx. Better to buy dual 2.6
or 2.8 at this time. if u can

What kind of performance benefit can I expect from this upgrade in a typical intranet CF project with LOTS of queries?
You will gain some CPU improvements but
You'll have to run some tests to find out for sure, but it won't be 100% faster, due to processor synchronization overhead.
One thing to watch out for, your second processor may not be fully compatible with your current one, so you might have to go through a couple to find one that works.Intel

Due to the system architecture, you are better off with an Opertorn
system for multi-processor work, particularly for I/O (which really
sucks on Xeons in comparison).Take a look at AnandTech for their
i agree... opterons are good too but we decided on xeons because we
simply found them to be pretty stable since we started using them when
they first came out and stuck with them that's all.. heck even the g5 I
have (for my creative side =) is good too but man are they LOL

, like SQL server. I was
running Win2k, CFMX, SQL Server 2k on the one machine and I found a
significant improvement across the board.

I have been asked to post this to the list by our hardware guy.
For a Cold Fusion or Database server, what would give the best performance
with 1 or 2 GB of RAM:
Quad Pentium III Zeon 550 with 512 KB, 1 MB or 2 MB cache
or
Quad Pentium III 700 with 256 On-Die cache
Also, which
Well, the first consideration might be that nothing,other than the DB
server, can take advantage of four processors and 2 GB of RAM. FTP,
streaming media and file serving take little processor power - a single
processor box with 128 - 256 meg of ram (or a linux box with 32 - 64 MB) is
.

We spec our CF boxes (NT/2000) at 2 PIIIs (not Xeon), mirrored disks and
512 MB. We generally buy the fastest processors available, lately 733s
and, as tempting as those little IBMs may be, we currently favor Dell 2450s.
We've got much the same setup,
% over a 2 processor where a 2 processor is 50% over a one processor.

Ah, but those are the CF boxes.
When we use the 2450s as DB servers, we spec them at 2 PIIIs and 1gig. We
move to a beefier raid controller with write caching and battery backup
behind a Raid 5 array with 10k rpm drives.
We prefer to go with a more substantial machine, when possible.
