Remember it is amd, not intel, 2.2ghz may not mean much for intel cpus. AMDs at 2.2ghz are what the amd fx-51 is based on, it's what the athlon xp 3200+ is at, also it is what the athlon 64 3400+ is at. A 2.2ghz opteron almost identical to the amd fx 51 which is better than a 3.2ghz P4EE and in many cases just as good if not better than an amd64 3400+. Now imagine two amd fx-51 procs running side by side, it far outperforms anything Intel can offer (short of a quad xeon, but no mobos support agp), not to mention almost as cheap as a 3.2 P4EE machine. Also remember opterons are 64bit. If you want the best deal go for a...
1) amd64 based system
2) amd athlon xp based system
3) P4 based system (not EE)
4) dual opteron system
5) AMD fx-51 based system
6) P4EE based system
7) dual xeon based system
