Aaron,  I just ordered a supermicro X5DP8 board (and chassis, the 6023P-8R
server combo) that I'll put two 2.4 Xeons and 512 megs of ram into.  It
uses the E7501 chipset, so I'd say it's comperable to the SE7501WV2.

Check with me in a month and I'll tell you how it does. :)

Of the original poster, though, I have to ask:  Why use a Xeon server with
only 1 processor?   Is the larger cache that important in your
application?
