I hope that I'm not starting some sort of holy war  with this question, 
but here I'll go.

I'm planning to set-up some e-mail / file servers running FreeBSD 6.1 in 
the near future and I'm wondering if it will be worth the cost to use 64 
but CPU's for this.

Also I would like to know which brand CPU would be best for these 
applications.
