Any P4 above 3.0Ghz should do for that.

Well sure, that will do it fine.
However, what would be the point in that for a 18-20 man server? And running that processor at its full capactiy, your internet connection won't be able to handle it.

Well a really cheap C2D will do that fine, even thats a bit overkill.

That would be 40 slots at 66 tick...hhhmm, I'm not too sure with older chips, like the pentiums.
Wait for someone who knows :p

That seems quite expensive for a P4...
Over here in the UK, you can get a 2.2Ghz C2D for about £50.
