Any decent dual-proc server with 1-2GB RAM would be more than sufficient, assuming your application is sane.
My production servers are dual-proc with 6GB RAM (RH Linux) and they easily handle hundreds of simultaneous users (not to mention a couple dozen Tomcat instances) with intensive CPU usage and intensive filesystem I/O (RAID 5).

What kind of load? Tomcat and Apache don't use anythign but a few mb of ram when you're not doing anything :)

what would be appropriate hardware for a Tomcat with Apache web server running on Win2k server (for a public OLTP-type web service with database backend running on its own dedicated machine)?
probably use striped (raid-0) scsi drive system, but not sure if dual cpu's required, P3, P4 or Zeon system would be appropriate?
