Mac Mini Buying Advice

Hi Everyone,

I am planning on buying a mac mini to use as a server running leopard server.
To be fiscally responsible, I have given myself two options.

Option A: For $699 I could have a Mini with a 1.83 Ghz Intel Core 2 Duo processor and 2gb of Ram.
Option B:For $799 I could have a Mini with a 2.0 Ghz Intel Core 2 Duo processor and 1gb of Ram.

Which do you get more millage out of, Ram or Processor speed?
Is it worth the extra $100 for the 2ghz processor even if I would lose on the Ram?
I know that there are other differences between the two models. However they don't matter to me since I will be using external storage and do not have a need to burn dvds.

Thanks for the help.

Go Apple!
