At a given clock speed that's usually true.

Well, if you're going for one of those, why not have two in the same size case:
Iwill ZMAX, dual Opteron, small form factor. (I think Quu posted this link earlier.)

It's a good-looking case, and that shark fin is perfect.

That's just the case though (~$500). Buying the two Opteron chips alone will set you back over $1,000 since those are our server-level chips.

Either way, that system does indeed rock.
