		 your programmer. splitting it up like he wants will not get you better performance than a RAID-10 array 
 
if you can get: 
 
Intel Core2Quad Q6600 
[ 4 x 2.4Ghz, 8MB L2 Cache ] 
2GB DDR2-667 RAM 
4 x 36GB Raptor 10,000RPM SATA 
Hardware RAID-10 
 
 
Then this server will kill the Xeon in all factors, and this discussion is over. Server B, with the above specs is the winnar.
