First let say that 200 concurrents connections is a heavy load of visits!! If you want only one machine, I would go for at least 4 processors and depending of the insert/select ratio maybe one machine will not be enough. By the way, at my job we made some test and we saved one machine taking MYSQL online instead of MSSQL but this is another debate
