Hi,

I agree with you and Shawn about 2 CPUs.  Personally, I don't think 4 CPUs 
server is worth of money to spend!  :-(  Instead of one server, I can spend 
money for at least two servers, then do the load balancing and fault 
tolerance, which 1 server can't do!  What happens if 1 server is down?  The 
other will pick up the load and users don't see much different.  It may slow 
down, but at least users can send/receive mail!  ;-)  In case of one 4-CPU 
server, if it's down, there is no mail at all!  ;-)  Besides, if you have 
two separate locations, then one 2-CPU at each location will provide users 
faster service while reducing WAN bandwidth vs. one 4-CPU at one location! 
;-)

Best,

P.S.  unless like Shawn said, one has tons of money to spend for two 4-CPU 
servers to do the load balancing and fault tolerance!  :-)
