prices are not very close :
a dual Opteron 244 will cost 2 or 3 times the price of dual AMD MP 2600+ system.
The opteron will perform about 20-30% faster, so the ration price/perf is not
very good. On the other hand if you want to use this system for some years , 64
bits is the way to go (>4 GB mem)
Personaly if I had a lot of money i'd buy a quad 448 (2.2 ghz)opteron  :>
