I run a single server with: a MythTV backend (2 PVR-250 cards and one 
HDHomeRun), a mail server (IMAPS and SMTPS with ClamAV, SpamAssassin and 
MIMEDefang), a web server (HTTPS), a file server (CIFS), a slimserver, a 
RADIUS server, a directory server (LDAPS), a web proxy, a Windows domain 
controller, a WINS server, a DNS server and a DHCP server. In addition, 
I use it to compile MiniMyth.

It ran fine for years on a 2.4GHz P4. However, I upgraded it to a Core 2 
Duo so that compilation would be faster.
