i would go for a dual opteron setup because that processor isnt gonna do much.
might cost quiet a bit more though. Dont kno the prices where you live. Oh and make sure that ram is gonna be able to run efficient. If it isnt ECC Registered you may actually be slowing down the comp because it has to search through 4 gigs of ram to find what its stored in their.

Ok so I did a little more research on the CPU this is what I've deciding to chose from:

AMD Opteron 175 Dual Core Processor S939 Denmark 2.2GHZ 2MB L2 Cache 90NM 64BIT $590.00

Intel Xeon 5060 DUAL-CORE Processor LGA771 3.2GHZ 1066FSB 4MB Cache EM64T W/ Active HSF $430.00

I heard dual xeon is better for rendering. These are the two models that I found that I would be able to afford. There's a lot of different models and I'm not sure what the different is... :?
