>For database work would you think 256 MB with two 700 Xeon 2MBs would be faster than 1 700 Xeon 2MB and 4GB of memory? I think that the second one would be faster in most cases even though it is cheaper.<

No, but for database work two 500 MHz Xeons with 1MB cache each and the same 4GB of memory as the second option would be even less expensive and perform better than the single 700 MHz Xeon with 2MB cache option.
