Crafty on my quad 700 runs at 1-1.5M nodes per second.  Crafty on the dual
xeon is 2-2.5M roughly.

It should be twice as fast if you count raw mhz, however the quad has a better
memory system (4-way interleaving vs 2-way interleaving on the dual).

I got the dual because I wanted enough physical space for at least 250gigs of
disk space, and I wanted to play with hyper-threading since it is something
fairly new...
