Okay, so the cheap enthusiast remark may have been a bit over the top, but it's not too far from the truth. You are simply not willing to pay that extra bit to get a dual-CPU system.
I think that is where the disconnect is. I would pay that extra bit to get a dual CPU system if it were reasonably priced.
I just think that the Xeon's are overpriced as well for the QPI feature.
It would be nice if the 2600K had that feature, then I would just have to pay the extra amount for the 2nd CPU, and a little extra for the more expensive board. I mean, I'm looking at these Xeons, but any that come close to what the 2600K can do are very very expensive. It doesn't seem like a smal bit at all, but instead, a very large bit (of cash) to upgrade to comparable Xeon performance levels. Take for instance, the Xeon X5680. It's retail at about $1700. That's just for one. Very spendy.
