Next, should I get a dual core CPU or just a fast single core?  Most of the load on this server is due to Spamassassin dealing with about 2000 email accounts.  Although it also serves up websites that is pretty minor load I beleive since they do not get all that many hits.

If you have the extra physical space, have you considered running the new server as a dedicated spamassassin server? Ideally, you would probably want the faster and larger drive handling the mail storage, but if downtime is really a problem, offloading the process causing the most load might give you the time to design and implement a more elegant solution.
