That will get you about 1500 kn/sec with df8, compared to the 2800kn/sec with the dual 2.56ghz chips, (over clocked) you could buy the ENTIRE system for 1200 dollars, (the over clocked system) And it will tear everyone a new one, infact its just as fast as dual opetron 248's, Infact the over clocked 2.56's are actually athlon 2800's, you could go higher using athlon 3200's , over clocking them aswell, you could push the kn/sec into 3000+ and it would still be cheaper than just the dual opetron chips!
