If I had to sum it up, I'd say the slight majority opinion - I'll estimate and say that about 60% of the people studying the question seem to believe this - is that google doesn't notice or care that it's on the same box.

Polls are useless in SEO.
Here's what Matt Cutt said in his recent video regarding this topic (use the info at your own risk):
Question: Can you put an end to some myths about having too many sites on the same server, or having sites with IPs too similar to each other, or having them all include the same javascript off of different sites?

In general, if you're an average webmaster, this isn't something I'd really worry about. Now I have to tell a story about Tim Myers and I being on a panel together, and somebody said, "You took all my sites out!" Uh..he said both Google and Yahoo did. and uh.. I didn't really have that many. So Tim Myers thought to ask, "Well, how many sites did you have?" And the guy looked a little sheepish for a minute, and said "Well...I had about two thousand sites." So there's a range, right? There's a continuum. If you got 2,3,4, 5 sites and they're all different themes, stuff like that, you're not in a place where you really need to worry that much. If you have 2000 sites, you need to be asking yourself, do you really have unique value-added content to support 2000 sites? Because the answer is, probably not. But if you're just your average guy..you got a few sites, I wouldn't worry about them being on the same IP address, and I definitely wouldn't worry about them being on the same server. That's something that everybody does.
