Well to answer the original question, the prices of the dual core
Opteron 100 serial are close to the equivalent X2 part, so sun should
offer the Ultra 20 with dual core CPUs.
I don't know what wholesale prices are like, but from a retail perspective, the
Opteron DC processors have somewhere between a 20% and 65% price premium over
the X2 (ranging across both the 512k and 1m cache lines). To me that doesn't
seem particularly close.
And, the DC Opterons are between 70% and 96% more than the SC Opterons. But,
you are correct that a DC Opteron option would be nice.

So I am confused... if you look at the Sun product page
under -> http://www.sun.com/desktop/index.jsp
and scroll down to the U20 entry in the matrix the description
states...
One AMD Opteron processor (dual-core up to 2.4 GHz,
single-core up to 2.8 GHz)
Yet DC isn't offered as an option under "Price and Buy".
So does Sun *intend* to offer DC U20's in the future or is
this just a typo?
