It kinda depends on how much memory each config has. And also how many clients will netbackup be serving.

But one thing is now clear: 2GHz to 3 GHz won't help very much at all. Netbackup mostly waits for tape drives and networks. It is I/O bound and it doesn't need super fast cpu's. It tends to have mutiple processes running and thus can benefit from more cpu's.
