Well, in any case, you need much better hardware than you're looking
at.  I mean, dual Xeon with 2 Gig isn't hardly big iron.  Why don't
you try benchmarking on a honking big box -- IBM P690 or a big Sun
(I'd counsel against that, though) or something like that?  Or even
some Opterons.  Dual Xeon is probablt your very worst choice at the
moment.
