As I mentioned previously, Solaris works great on Athlon X2 CPUs. The only reason we are moving to core 2 duo chips is power management. We are also looking at the option of using Athlon X3 and/or X4, for which power manage in Solaris is available. However, we do not have a firm answer as to whether we can simply plug the X3/X4 CPUs onto the X2 board. I am looking at the ASUS P5KPL-CM LGA 775 Intel G31 Micro ATX Intel Motherboard: http://tinyurl.com/asusp5kpl Basically I am interested in finding a cheap but high-performance system with a minimum power consumption, something that enthusiasts can try out a zfs-enabled server before taking a look at Sun's catalog.
