Glad to read that.
I do hope to grow the hosting part of my business and the last thing I 
want is to have to get another machine any time soon.. so leaning towards 
single Opteron.

Was also considering to partner with someone.. so the dual boards would 
have been better if that happened.

The data center I am considering will let me put a desktop which will save 
some money on the case.
