Hi, About 6 weeks ago I build a dual Opteron 270 box. I used the 270 because the 275 is a little bit to expensive to my taste. Actually the 270's run fine on 2200 MHz. as well. Al 'deep' programs support 4 processors, I tried Shredder, Fritz and Junior. Only I'm not sure if the commercial programs scale very well on a multi processor box. I have the impression that Shredder hardly improves on a quad processor compared to a dual processor box. NPS almost doubles ofcause, but the actual speed-up seems to be rather small. I have to do some more tests, and try more and different positions before I can say anything about this with certainty.
