I have a dual mp system 2400+ xp->mp setup and love it for what it is doing it
is too fast! webserver, dns, database server, mail. For chess I ran some
benchmarks using crafty and was impressed. Now one of my chips failed and I am
going to buy two new 2800's when the other chip fails and not before because I
noticed that even on one chip it still is only using about 20% of the cpu!! So
get one before they get rid of them. Opteron is good but cost alot more and at
my level I could not take advantage of extra speed.
