CPU? How? I would say the opposite, by a very big measure :) Ram is *way* more important...

It will store a healthy amount of data (6-8 TB). Our editors will work on projects locally, and backup their projects nightly to the file server via a Robocopy routine. Only changed files will be copied across the network. We have four editors, and a gigabit network. How important will the processor and memory be in this situation? I assume our biggest bottlenecks will be the SATA controllers and network speed. Am I correct?
