We recently got some dual PIII 930 MHz machines for $1700. 256 megs ram (I'd get more, personally) and 80 gigs HD (IIRC). The cost of adding the second CPU was only 300 or so, and the boost in compute power is substantial. In addition, the actual operation of dual CPU systems is much more pleasant. You can have one task completely jug a CPU and the second CPU is still completely free to do other things. Just some thoughts.
