I don't think so, large DBs require lots of RAM, *fast* RAM (but dual servers only accept ECC/REG memory anyway). Also, a RAID is only interesting if you need a *fast* drive (serving movies or large files for example), if you are serving html or php you probably need faster access times and less speed (ie SCSI or Serial ATA if your budget is smaller). Also keep in mind Xeon 2.0 has a much slower bus than the new generation 2.4. Always go for that one instead of 2.0. For the rest liquidmoe was right.
