Recommend hardware specs

[chiel at gmx.net]

Hi,

I was looking for some recommend hardware specs, but I didn't find any.
The only think that I was able to find was in the "Apress Pro Nagios 2.0"  book, it had the following table:

#of host  	# of cpu        CPU Speed        Memory        Disk Space
<100          	1                800MHz+         512MB+            5GB+
100-500      	1                 1GHz+           1GB+            10GB+
500-1000      	1+                3GHz+           1GB+            20GB+
1000>         	1+                3GHz+           2GB+            40GB+

Do you guys agree with this list? The article also said that disk speed (scsi) was also very important.
I think I will be monitoring 1000> hosts. With distributed nagios servers.

And what are the benefits of the following technologies: 64bit, Hyper-Threading and Dual-core in comparison with Nagios.
I'm using nagios 2.7, but maybe the upcoming nagios 3.0 will have different specs?

Like to see you comments.
