Building a Sossaman rig?

[WhiteFireDragon]

i don't wannna threadjack from this sossaman build, but how does this AMD build compare:

- K8N-DRE-2GBL-PB $19
- 2 AMD Opteron 270 Dual-Core 2GHz CPU Processor S-940 + $40

how do memory prices of ECC DDR compare to ECC DDR2? and what i'm really interested in is total power consumption and point output, but it looks like this platform will lose to sossaman? according to wikipedia, each apteron 270 chip sucks up 95w? that's nearly triple what the intel chip needs.

Too much power comsumption 2-3x and much slower than dual sossaman (2.4GHz Q600 would be equal).
