Or better still a Dual Athlon. I have 2 of them exclusively for ponder-on chess
tournaments :-) But if you also want it for gaming, or other uses, it will be
disappointing. The dual Athlon motherboards and chipsets are very dated - no
SATA, firewire, USB2 etc

Dual Opteron would be fantastic as would a dual Xeon set-up, but horrendously
expensive

If you want a general purpose machine (i.re. not juyt for chess) then an
Athlon64 is the way to go in my view
