The 248 is more expensive than the FX51 (by over $100).  I cannot even find a
148.

You'll have to go Opteron if you want to go dual.

The FX51 has better memory features, and will run games, and other memory
intensive applications better.  But for computer chess, the 248 and the FX51
will do the exact same numbers.
