Heretical thought here...

Surely the Opteron 240 is a 1.4 GHz single core processor? You might be
better off buying a single-processor motherboard (which will be cheaper)
and a fast dual core processor.

Having said that, you may have problems finding a combination that will
take your existing memory, unless you're prepared to replace that, too.
