Quad cores use the same socket as duals. It's just a modest bios
difference.

Actually Mark..I just did an HP DL320 (the system I believe you were talking
about) with 9TB (12x750 SATA) for a client for under $8K. This include $400

We are going to buy a small size beowulf cluster with 32 multicore
processors (INTEL or AMD multicore processor).
does "multi" mean 2 or 4 to you? also, are you talking dual-socket

We don't care the network, but we need a big storage disks.
that's even more poorly defin
