I wanted to downgrade my box to save some cash but I'm being told performance would suffer. My current setup is a Dual Core server with 2GB of RAM.
I'm not sure if downgrading to a Pentium 4 server with only 1GB of RAM to get my plan price where I want would be smart. Really unsure of the performance difference.
I've got around 150-175 wordpress blogs each with individual databases.

It's probably better to ask your host if they can drop the price and reduce your gig allowance. If you change to another box then they have second hand hardware they need to reuse (or sell), and new h/w they have to write off, more support issues due to moving all of your sites, etc. Bandwidth is cheap - and they probably bank on customer's not using 100% of it each month - so they may not be able to knock off much, but I'd try asking anyway.
