Yeah why not,I have 26 grand or more laying around for that versus half the cost for a dual HT!!

Configure that with a quad processor with 3 gigs of ram and basic everything else and tell me you can do that at a cost effective solution for a small game server community or gaming host for that matter. Actually most people who have game servers with their own servers I belive either have a smaller box, or they are renting from a datacenter.Because either way you go,building a dual or even a quad xeon is way to expensive for anyone not making money off it.Dual system dell 6650 can cost upwards of 15k for a decent box where as a quad system is like 24k plus.When I saw the prices on those,my mouth dropped as I was thinking of buying a box and colocating it.But I believe I'll keep my Dual Xeon I have rented.Its way cheaper.......just my thoughts on that..............
