The original order specs were for a pair of 2.0GHz dual core Xeon

option of choosing the 2.0GHz quad core Xeon E5335 for about $730.
This would leave one socket free for further expansion, and would
only cost slightly more.
Anyone have wisdom on this?
I tend to agree with Neil on the sticking with the original 2 CPU
specification. By the time we outgrow that, the whole system will need
replacing.

Future processor expansion: only a minor concern
And: Is not the dual CPU a reliability plus compared to one quad
