Forum

max of 1000 online at any given time.

what cpu would you recomend for those stats?
So... have you looked at the TIME when this load hits? Are you running your backups at that time? What forum software are you using? How is the site coded? All these things play into ways to optimize your site....

But as SKIP indicated, if you just want to throw money at the problem, get an OPTERON server...
