I would tend to favour CPU, though disk can also be important with all the assets being read from it. Memory is usually
not an issue.

I'm porting a grid from a home PC to a server.
The grid is 40 regions large, 16 simulators, 5 to 10 avatars.
It runs today on a i7-2700K (8,921 PassMarks), 16Gb home PC.
A quick test on a 16Gb Xeon gives these stats:
top - 17:49:03 up 14 days, 7:04, 19 users, load average: 0.40, 0.64, 0.77

The grid runs quite well but 16Gb is a little short, so I will go for a 24 or
32Gb machine. This is (obviously, or I
won't ask here) a non-profit project, on a personal budget.
Here is my dilemma : in the target price range, I can have two machines:
- Two Xeon E5530 (7,723 PassMarks), 8 core total, 24Gb, rotating disk
- Single Xeon E3 1225v2 (6,844 PassMarks), 4 core, 32Gb, 3x120Gb SSD
Should I favour CPU over memory? Memory over SSD?
Which one would you pick?
