Their site is rather simple (static contents, very few php scripts, no real heavy-load duty) and it crumbled at 2000 visitors.

So, for the purposes of serving web pages (or ftp, or games) to your friends, this kind of machine is OK, but so is your home PC. And yet, it's not mission critical, so forget the SMP and take a single P4/XP (2200+ or more) and no RAID.
For a *real* website or any heavy-load, mission-critical server, this is total crap.
