  An Operton based system should be the same price or less than a Xeon.

  Plus, if you just need large amounts of RAM, but a single processor will
do, you can also get single processor Operton boards.  See the new NForce3
based motherboard from ASUS.  It is designed as a workstation board.  I
think the board can socket 6GB?  Some of the dual Operton boards can
socket way more.
