two processors with single cores don't work as well as single dual cores like x2 series...

otherwise people would be buying those opteron socket 940s like crazy...

the server computers have many cores, but for a desktop, i don't think it helps..

i believe there are only 1~2 people on this forum have socket 940...
that almost proves that it is not that great

the price wise, unless you get a high end opteron socket 940, its not too expencive,
just like fx 60 cost more than $1000

if i were you, i'd get x2 3800
