Explanation
For a database workload, processor speed (B) and amount of memory (E) are the two most critical factors because databases are computationally intensive and heavily reliant on RAM to cache data, run queries, and manage transactions - directly impacting query performance and throughput. The distractors are secondary concerns: form factor (A) matters for rack space planning but doesn't affect performance, power supply wattage (C) is a consequence of component choices rather than a selection criterion, and support level (D) is a business/operational consideration, not a technical performance factor for the workload itself.
Memory tip: Think "database = data in RAM + fast processing" - if data fits in memory, queries fly; if the CPU is slow, even cached data won't help. B + E = the performance pair.
