O, you won't need anything special for that. A normal CPU dating back to the PIII era can handle that just fine.

Would RAID help the server any at all? It's going to be pulling graphing info...

Eh, it might, depending on how much traffic you plan to have on your server. Are you going to be doing it over lan or internet? In most cases, your download/upload speeds are the most severe limiting factors. I'm sure any SATA hard drive will work just fine.

I have two WD 80Gb SATA's in RAID 0 in it right now... It's over the internet.. It hosts a basic HTML site that contains some Flash very quick right now. The only thing bad about my server is the MB, Intel MB's have a stability problem sometimes. Do you think I should give it some RAM?

Raid will only speed up how long it takes to retrieve info from the hard drive, there will be no advantage to the processing speed of the server.

Raid helps speed things up when you are pulling and placing large amounts of data from the disk drives.

Speaking of powerfull servers; I worked an internship at a place that had 2 servers that had 4 quad core processors and 17gb of ram EACH!

Each server ran up to 14 virtual servers inside and only ran at 1/2 capacity. That means that if one physical server goes down, the other can/will pick up and run all of the virtual servers (28).

We are just talking like finding advanced matrix determinants, linear transformations, etc.

Nothing that advanced Until I am getting paid for something like that...
