I would recommend a Dual core CPU for multitasking.

AMD Opteron 165 (dual core) would make a good starter server platform (for servers that do more than file serving).
If you feel the need to overclock, both of these do so very well.
If you want to spend more money then look at the Conroe's from Intel.

hmm..interesting.
i'm thinking about doing a 64-bit dual core either intel or amd dual processor setup. going to throw about 10gb's of memory on it and probably 500gb of raid5 storage. that should do me pretty well.
i'll probably throw vmware on it. thanks for the tip david. you da man.
no plans for overclocking since i'm not using this for games.
do amd's still overheat like they used to?
