Or buy some lower spec CPUs and overclock them. The C2D 6300 will oc to 3Ghz on air given reasonable RAM and a decent m/b. Avoid the mistake I made using the Asrock dual-vsta m/b as they don't like to oc.
My Gigabyte DS3 C2D 6400 (stock 2.13GHz) is at 2.7GHz and I've only just started messing with it.

Well I took the AMD solution. Went and bought two X2-3800's this afternoon. While not C2D's, the price was a lot better. Then maybe next fall/winter I'll have some more saved up so I can go for one of the amd quads.

OK Rimrock, so what DC project(s) are you going to crunch them on?
AMD X2s would shine on my favourite - BOINC Riesel Sieve.

Don't know yet. Still gotta do a bit of playing around. Didn't buy windows cause that would have been another 300+ bux. Got sata drives. So now I've either got to download one of the linux distro's that supports mpc and sata or go in and do a recompile, but gotta get something loaded first.
Crunching, probably medical stuff is what I'm thinking. Will look at that after the kernel issue is resolved. Until then they are just singles.

I saw you ran some D2OL. That's good, now all you need do is join our team.
Nflight made some instructions here:

Unfortunately the members services page that allows you to join a team at Sengent appears to have been hacked. I posted in the D2OL official forum so hopefully they'll un-hack it.

that url needs to start with //app.d2ol....................
And it's fine. The one you have posted above looks like the old one when Sengent used to be running the ballpark, but they don't anymore.

^^^^^^^^^^ the correct url.
