Remember, hardware is cheap, software is hard, and time is money.

The bulk of your system might be serverside - Go to your local  
computer recycling shop and get a decent computer, then trick it out.

If you find your game might not be fast enough then, start grinding  
the database where the data is stored - thats what they're meant for.

If you code in Ruby, you will find that troubleshooting and just  
plain old coding will be tons easier.

Good luck,
