I decided to just use the XP-64 on it. I'm running a couple instances of psp combined sieving on it and they are doing fine. I also went out and picked up a digital camera, a Nikon. So I'll just throw another HD in it along with a CD burner and that will work just fine for me.
Will experiment around with some 64-bit linux on one of the AMD-64's instead, and thus keep up the sieving projection. :)
I've got to say though that the system was a bit of an expense. By the time I purchased the OEM XP-64, a 100gb Seagate Barracude, a gig of memory, the chip and mobo, a 24pin Antec PS, and a case there was some serious bucks into it. However I am totally impressed with the low heat output as compared to my AMD-64's. And the power consumption is definitely lower than running 2 amd-64 37/3800's. Even the PS is putting out less heat -- duh... stands to reason though with less juice needed by the dual. :)
