We have a number of busy production boxes running 7.0 (spam/virus 
scanning of email and a very busy AMD64 postgresql box, 8 gig RAM 
serving up about 30Mb/s of db results to 3 webservers on an Areca 
controller in RAID10).  Hardware choices matter.  But if it runs well 
under 6.x most things should run equally well under 7.x
