Servers are a different matter, and which CPU you buy depends on your application. If you are dealing with small amounts of transactions, then a Xeon processor (or a dual Xeon) would be the way to go.

www.supermicro.com

these guys sell a varity of dual Xeon motherboards you can use to put together a decent low cost server.

For a few $ extra you can buy an Adaptec SCSI PCI-X RAID controller. Buy 4-5 Cheetah 15kRPM drives, and you have yourself a top line harddrive for the server as well.

If your application requires more than a dual Xeon has to offer, then Itanium is an option, but the cost is significantly higher. You would have to go to the likes of HP and IBM for those.
