Ok, now we're clear. Personally, I'd wait until AMD releases the dual
core Opteron CPUs and see what the price on them is compared to single
core. You might be able to do a dual core cpu on a single socket 940 mb
for less than a two single cores on a dual socket 940 mb. And since
there's only one chip to cool, you could probably do it quieter that way
too.

On this list?!
