We are on a colo machine, dual PIII 933 w/ 1GB of PC133
Bandwidth is more of an issue than server speed, we average 30% idle on each proc, but are currently maxing out our 1 MBPS line over 40% of the day.
Attachments are disabled, and board image files have been custom constructed to allow an average of 500-600 bytes per image.
See Eva's info on limiting bandwidth.....you will more than likely run into big $$ there before you run into server slow downs.
