And not to forget my mac allegiance:
Mac G5 dual 2.7Ghz

Mac G5 deal 2.7Ghz

and then get four of these: 2GB memory pack at $250 each and for $3500-$4000 you get a dual 64-bit system with 8GB RAM. as you can see the Mac 2.5Ghz is about equal if not slightly faster than the opteron 252 in processing power, and the opteron system costs about $1200 more: The 2.7Ghz model will undoubtedly perform even better.
