I'm running on a hyper threading P4 using SATA drives no problem.  You 
can enable the hyper threading easily enough and the serial ATA just 
needs the kernel compiled with the support.  Your needs for email and 
web would need to be pretty high for you to really need that much power 
just for web and e-mail though.  How many hits/e-mail messages are you 
expecting?

HTH,

Joe
