Which would be the best choice of the following servers, for me to use for PHP/MySQL hosting with RedHat7.3
AMD Athlon™ XP 1600 1.4Ghz
256MB SDRAM
9GB SCSI
Intel Pentium™ 3 Dual 550Mhz
256MB SDRAM
9GB SCSI
Both servers look good but I would suggest getting more RAM. 256mb seems a bit low for a server, just my thoughts.

Okay, we can make the RAM to 512, but which one you will select if you are given a choice?

I would go for the dual system. Also, You may want to consider buying a bigger hard drive. You can buy a 36 gig off ebay for about $200.
Good Luck.

the dual will be better for you - and you really should look into a larger HD and more ram -

Right on.. Dual all the way...
I agree with the others, memory is so cheap now, you might as well go with 1gig.
Are building this, or is this something that a hosting company offers? You may want to look into a RAID if you go with SCSI..
So you can sleep at night!
