Isn't that running 1.4Ghz? Not very well at stock speed. If you could get that core speed up probably. Overclocking dual opterons may be fun though, but not worth the money.

Think an A64 at 1.4GHz, 'cept a little faster

The Opterons should be the pick of the chips though so I would imagine a 200-400MHz overclock at least should be possible, although I can't say from experience.

It will actually fold exactly like a 2.8Ghz clawhammer with exactly half the memory of the opteron rig.
