Don´t forget the patches:

See
http://www.zip.com.au/~akpm/linux/ext3/index.html
under 2.4.20.

I am using my Athlon 900 server with 1,25 GB RAM and 4 80 GB software 
Raid 5 hds (only for data) with external journal on software raid 1 (two 
more 15 GB hds), never had any problems (at least noot file-system or 
software-raid concerned), but I do not create the kind of load your 
application does.
