What I have now:
Front end: Dual Xeon HT 2.66s, 3 gig of ram. SATA HD.
Back end: Dual Opteron 244's, 3 gig of ram, SCSI HD's
My forum avg's around 1400 - 1700 users online (15min timeout), about 1/3rd only see the archive, the rest are active on the forum.
For $100 a month less, I can get:
Quad AMD Opteron 852's (4 cpus each running at 2.6ghz)
8 GB Memory (upto 32 GB)
4x 36gb 10k rpm SCSI hdds
I really like the idea of managing one server, not two. Too many headaches for me lately. Think I can pull off running a site of my size on this single server?
