Suggestion on Dual Core please??

Hi All,

I currenbtly use 2 linux Red Hat machines. They are 800mhz, 512MB RAM.
I need to rebuild them so they are faster machines. One will be a web
server running Apache,
and the other will be a mail server running Postfix. I'll still be
running Red Hat.

I have a T1, but what I am wondering about is the speed of the machine
itself to deal with all the processing of emails and such....... the
system does in excess of 50,000 emails per day.

Anyhow, which is better for this kind of job, a dual core processor, or
a motherboard with 2 CPU's?? I would also assume memory is a big
factor??

I',m not looking to spend $4K on these machines. Maybe some new cpu's
am RAM, or new ASUS motherobards or something. But I want to know
abouta dual CPU or Dual-Core??

Thanks!

.
