I missed the boat on this but you did right. The 51xx series is the one to get (AKA "Woodcrest"). The quads are coming soon but won't give you a price/performance edge until apps are altered to utilize 4 plus threads. I just got a server in running quad 5160s and it flies. It will replace a database server we had running 2 P3-era Xeon 550s. I'm getting a tad better performance, you might say.
