It's important that you understand the difference in price between a regular xeon and a xeon mp. The xeon mp's allow 4 or more processors, but cost 10x as much.

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..............
