Best server configuration?

I was wondering if you had a search engine that had yahoo's capabilities but with only about 450,000 registered users, and about 1,500,000 visitors a month, what would be the best server configuration, as far as GHz is concerned as well as the amount of cores.
Best server configuration?
Depends on how much money you have to throw at it and how many nodes you need to connect. A star or hyrbid star network is typical. If it's a WAN and you have the money, a mesh or particl mesh network provides good fault tolerance. You will need a good DNS and Web server as well. Over a million visitors is a LOT of visitors so you want some serious server RAM for performance. I would also invest in a good data back-up system. Data is a companies life blood.
