First ask them whether it supports dual core chips, if it doesn't
then obviously you'll be better off with a quad dual core. It's a lot
cheaper too.
Tyan has also something similar to this, might be a cheaper solution and
works dual core.
Most go for that one instead of the iwil

Xen has very little impact on performance. I saw some very good figures
at a recent presentation at FOSDEM.

It is a bit of a kludge, but you could get the single-socket short
