from what I know:
-there is no benefit of having Server and Db to be run off diffirent PCs - you may very well humper its performance (the DB of EQ is REALY tiny compared to what corporations are running - the whole thing is at most 100mb)
-RAM comes first, CPU 2nd
-The real drain on the server is number of open conection (aka players), and this is where UP bandwith realy matters
-Time has proven that Unix run Emu is a bit more stable and runs faster
