it depends :-)

If you're using VS-NAT then you'll need a machine that can handle the full
bandwidth of the expected connections. If this is T1, you won't need much
of a machine. If it's 100Mbps you'll need more (I can saturate 100Mbps
with a 75MHz machine). If you're running VS-DR or VS-Tun you'll need
less horse power. Since most LVS is I/O I would suspect that SMP won't
get you much. However if the director is doing other things too,
then SMP might be useful
