Hi, 

do you want to use those machines for ab initio stuff, classical MD, or
what else? 

One word of caution concerning athlons: one of our athlon machines
failed after 6 months; CPU destroyed, possibly because of overheating.
Athlons can become quite hot, as well as the I/O (e.g. southbridge)
chips. Some MBs have extra fans for the southbridge. Get good cooling
and good warranty conditions. 

Regards, C.K.
