If you have low numbers, maybe it would be better to use the weaker machine for now, and then upgrade when the time comes. It would be a hassle, but at least you wouldn't waste resources.
For reference, I can easily support my 3 characters on a dual-core Celeron E3300 2.50 Ghz with 2 GB RAM running Windows 7. I have even used > 100 bots on raids on this machine with only occasional lag.
The more powerful machine could then be used for some other project.
At least that is how I see it.
