1000 per server looks a bit high -- in the morning logins will come in at the same time, so I will lower this number and use 3 load balanced boxes for the same number of users, which will add additional redundancy. I would rather have 2-CPU boxes -- 2x800MHz will work better as compared to 1x1600MHz in your scenario. RAM looks OK, you can probably go lower, but 1GB is good.
