    Go for SCSI (SAS) it makes a massive improvement.

          I'd go with the xeon server, but for $200/month you should be able to get dual cpu, with dual core.

          I'd shop around on some other top5 dedicated server providers.

          I'd also reconsider getting a control panel. If you know what you're doing or willing to learn, a unmanaged / cpanel free solution might help speed up things too. And also lower the costs.

          the planet has a dual xeon 3.2 for $150/month with 500gb traffic and fast enough hdd and enough ram : http://www.theplanet.com/dedicated-s...rver-specials/

          If you are willing to spend $200, you can upgrade the server during order to get the most out of it. It's perhaps better than getting a $200 and trying to upgrade that.

          And if you are quick and on top of things, you could perhaps get a pretty cheap dedicated solution from staminus : http://staminus.net/?link=servers - i am sure at the end of the month they will introduce their new servers

                  vBulletin.com runs on theplanet and my own dedicated box too. It seems we are still up with great uptime and performance.
