v.s. better code v.s. 30 amp PDUs

Generally the core-duo is the desktop line, and dual/quad-core is the
Xeon server line (and the affiliated north/south bridge / MB chipset --
and thus buses, RAID Controller, network.)

Its all marketing though -- CPUs really haven't gotten any faster since
2003 when the last genuine P4 3.2 was released, and more cores only
helps some applications, some libraries/APIs, on some kernels

Luckily Linux and Apache is one such combination.
