Well... How about Opteron's little brother?  I'm
building a backend with two PCHD-3000s on a dual
Athlon MP board (Tyan Tiger MPX).  It has two Athlon
MP 2000 processors, but I've considered using my old
clunky 1200 processors if they can keep up with the
demands of two HDTV cards. I have a PCHD-2000 in my
currently working FE/BE system that could be tossed in
for extra load.  If they worked together, that is. 
(I've been understandably reluctant to take apart my
working myth box for this experiment.)
