That is very interesting information. In U.S. where I live you can get
2x1Gb for less than $20 which is about 15 Euros if I am not mistaken.
Recently, I put down the cost for building server with 2x4 cores (two processors per mother board of course), 16Gb RAM and 3x500Gb SATA hard drives. It came to about $1400. Since Opterions with 4 cores are still relatively expensive just by putting 2x2cores will bring the server under $1000. That is just incredible. For curios good starting point for parts shopping in U.S. is newegg.com.
