Which Server Setting Should I go With?

Hi Guys,

I'm getting a new server but would need some advise.

Should I go with this configuration:-

Dual Xeon 3.0 with 1gig ram and 2 x SATA harddisk

or I shoudl go with

Single Xeon 3.0 with 1gig ram and 2x SCSI harddisk

both configuration, the harddisk will be raid 1 (card).

I'm using this server to host 100 over website with a monthly visits of 500,000 and email sending of about 100,000.

How easy is it for me to add another processor later part, ie I purchase the Single Xeon 3.0 first with the SCSI harddisk and later when i got $$$ add one more Xeon? will I need to reformat and reinstall my server?

I'll be running on Fedora Core 3, Apache, Plesk 7.5 with PHP and mySQL.

thank you so much.

PS, I hope i'm in the right section, Mod, if I'm in the wrong section, sorry, would appreciate if you can move me to the right one.
