4GB of RAM is better. Consider a dual processor box. Look at e-accelerator
or another PHP cache.

My personal site actually gets 30 - 40K uniques per month, although that's
mainly viewing and perhaps a couple of comments -- nothing much for
registered users to do. Depending on what you're doing and how much
interactivity there is -- and you've already said you're using OG -- this
will lead to a higher load.

Cheers,
