4Gb of RAM would enable the current CVS speedups to continue, and also |
| 10 |
allow for keeping all of the CVS/SVN trees (2Gb of data presently) in |
| 11 |
the memory-cached files (important for speed). |

The Xeon's need to be be HT-capable (the present ones are), as that |
| 14 |
helps spread available CPU around the tasks that do use it better. |

The 6x146GB is overkill for storage, unless you have some other plans |
| 17 |
that I'm not aware of (I'm assuming RAID5 with a hot-spare, so 4x146GB |
| 18 |
usable). 6x72GB might be more suitable for the budget. |
