How much left over capacity in the 4 cores do you have? How is load 
balanced between them.  i.e mythrontend and other greedy processes.
The AMD x2 5200 is reasonably cheap at $119+GST, The 64K question is is 
it enough?
Anyone know how the intel 6800 and amd 5200 magic numbers compare in 
real life?
