How many is 'several' as our company has currently 7 developers (Forms&Reports, also Centura) working on one instance and single-processor PII with single IDE-drive and 128M memory handles the load easily, on NT WS with default settings?

Database isn't very large though, developer-version of it is about 600M, but same machine is also used as a workstation (mine) and it doesn't degrade performance substantially.

Your proposition seems a fair amount of overkilling to me, if I may say so. :)
