Very good point.  In my situation, I've been given the ability to buy 
this year, and probably will never again be allowed to purchase, well, 
anything the way budgets look. :)  I went with the fastest Xeon 
processors I could find, hoping to squeeze another year or two of 
usefullness out of them -- but you make an excellent point Jim, that .4 
Ghz isn't worth the X2 cost unless you're in a situation similar to mine.
