Right.  In this case I will not be serving any content, only terminating 
SSL connections and passing off http requests to a pool of tomcat servers.

So I could go with eg 2G RAM and spend the rest  of the money of faster 
quad core chips.

Incidentally, can.worms.open(at the moment, what's to choose between the 
Intel quad cores and the AMDs?)

Our procurement is always through Dell, so it's a fairly simple set of 
choices.
