Patrick, I built a portable AG node from an earlier Supermicro board that supports dual Intel Xeon 3.4 processors. I know its not the dual core, but it has been working for stable for about two years now. Combined with onboard audio, 3 WinTV capture cards and a quad Matrox G200-MMS video card, even with a lot of video streams the system is almost idle.
