I built a cheap server comprised of a Q6600 quad core processor, 8 gig of
memory, terabyte of drive space (7200) rpm. I run this on a suse 10.3, and I
can easily run a R/S topology with protocols, as well as a s/p topology with
the cpu in the 60-80% range, between 30-40 routers. I spent around $900, and
with the right idle pc values it works awesome. I would definitly go with
the quad core option.
