Recommended setup and hardware requirements?

Reading my question please note, that I haven't yet received Beta 2 and consequently haven't read the documentation included in Beta 2.

Problem:
We would like to establish a test environment with the Team System Foundation Server that is as similar to the final production environment as possible.
I have searched the web for descriptions of the recommended setup and hardware requirements and the closest I got to answers is the following links:

http://msdn2.microsoft.com/library/4c26cc39(en-us,vs.80).aspx (with dead link:  Visual Studio 2005 Team System Requirements)

Question:
Does anyone know of more specific descriptions of the recommended setup and hardware requirements

Recommended setup and hardware requirements?

    We've not tested the performance difference with hyperthreading on and off.  We generally do our testing with it on but only count physical cores when we count CPUs.  I expect having it on is a win as we make very heavy use of multi-threading.

    We are still finalizing the requirements.  Generally we've been lowering them lately as we get more confident of the server's performance.  Here's the latest draft I have but I must add the caveat that it could change.

    Any thoughts/observations as to whether it's best to have hyperthreading on or off for each server (Data, Application, and Build server)

    Same question with a dual CPU system
