And I would HIGHLY recommend those PST files live on a server and not the local machine.  If they MUST reside on the local machine, install a second, spinning hard drive for those users who deal with these files.

I have to presume this is a law firm or similar.  Unless there is a compelling reason for the mail data to be in PSTs, boost the disk storage on your Exchange farm and move this data into the Exchange information stores.  Access will be faster, the data will be backed up under your corporate umbrella, and it is accessible remotely, if needed.

PST files have very limited use today, in my not-so-humble opinion.

True, John, that configuration is not supported, but it will work.  That being said, those PSTs should be no larger than 256 MB.
Large PSTs are usually poor business practice.

My preference is the i7 as it is a newer generation, either machine should have 8GB ram.  What I would do is replace the HD with a SSD and put it in a USB3 external Caddy.

PST files on a server is a recipe for disaster.
