At the moment the price of a Intel Xeon E5405 activ (BX80574E5405A) Harperton Quadcore/2000MHz, L2 Cache 12MB, Bustakt 1333, Socket LGA 771 Boxed(80Watt) is still 176,90 Euros, thats a very interesting alternative to build a 8 core.
But these dualboards are very expensive.....

Yeah Not anymore Though, I checked at the same place I bought my E8400:

**SHORT SUPPLY. NEXT SHIPMENT DUE MID TO LATE APRIL** " $399
:o
Q6600 Quads are now $299 at the same place

Sometime I'm not sure what todo, SkullTrail yes/no with E5405 (178 Euro)
or better wait for Nehalem and Next Generation Intel Microarchitecture
or meanwhile a cheaper resulution: board XFX GeForce 7150/MCP630i (70 Euro) no graphiccard necessary, with a Intel Core2 Quad Q9450 4x2.67GHz BOX (300 Euro), case ram disk..all together ca 680 Euro for the hardware + software XP Professional (130 Euro) for testing our parallel stuff.....

Honestly Heinz, I'd say it'd be difficult to go past the Q6600 at the moment. I'd guess the Yorkfields are being held off 'till the stock of those clears a bit. Then the Yorkfields will be awesome [If this wolfdale is anything to go by]. I am getting the feeling that the Nehalem architecture will be a fairly radical departure from what we're used to, and it may take some time for the software to follow. Perhaps something like the OpenMP standard gives some insight there, many cores with shared memory.
