The G5 will support hundreds of users as a server.  For a couple  
users, there is no need for one, much less multiple processors.  If  
you think you can sell the G5 and get a mini for less, go for it.   
But don't worry about processor for a server.  You would be just fine  
with an old G4, really, just make sure you have gigabit ethernet.
