If I had $1,600 to spend on two E5-2640's or four AMD 6176's, which would you recommend? Or is $1,600 too much to spend on either set of CPUs? Should I be looking for better deals?

Thanks for any tips.
 
Will you be doing anything else besides Folding and such?
 
The idea was to create a dedicated 24x7 rig. Not too concerned about power usage. Mainly interested in really good TPF and/or PPD. I've read all the threads about running custom BIOS on the SuperMicro boards for AMD 61xx. Not sure which dual LGA 2011 is best for folding, but I imagine it's the Tyan board.

Thanks.
 
You'd get better production for folding out of the G34 chips.
 
I have a set of 6166HE that can be OCed to just about the same specs as 6174 for about half the cost. PM if interested.
