Opteron Dual Core

Still looking for information. Dual core vs. Dual processor?
I am thinking of building a new computer. Can anyone explain the differences, pros and cons of dual core vs. dual processor?
Right now I am leaning to a Tyan S2875ANRF Dual Socket 940 main board with 2 gig of ram and twin 2.2 GHz AMD Opteron 248 SledgeHammer processors.
whats the difference going with this configuration vs say a 3.7 GHz Dual core?
I have built many single chip computers with Tyan boards, they are great. That is a good choice.
But the APPLICATION is what should drive your thinking. Reviews and benchmark tests can only give you a good guess. If you change anything in either configuration, all bets are off. There are important things to consider, like "avoid water cooling" and such.
You will have an awsome rig. I would love it if you ran some BOINC and posted your configuration and BOINC benchmark tests at my Yahoo Group.
