Only recommendation on SATA is make sure you get a 3Ware controller, and
if you can afford it, go RAID 1.  The 3Ware drivers are in the kernel, and
work much better than Promise.  To me it is worth it.

I prefer Xeon processors, but then again I work in compute-intense
environment.  They seem to outperform the P4s for some reason (haven't
really delved into the voodoo of the hardware specs to find out
why...don't really care).
