Need advice on hardware for SQL 2005

Hello,
I would appreciate if someone can give some advice on hardware for building
up SQL 2005 cluster. We will have 4 database of 50 GB each. How many
processors, memory,... do I need? My preference is to go for HP servers
Thanks in advanceIt is hard to say, it depends on several factors, specially your budget.
And probably you already know about this, but just in case:
- A 64-bit system is highly recommended.
- The hardware you select must be on the Microsoft Windows Catalog and
Hardware Compatibility List under the cluster category
