Are you running a 64 bit version of Linux?  I'm using a dual XP 2100 right
now for address@hidden crunching and general use.  It loves abuse and is 
running 100%
CPU usage at all times and is _very_ stable.  I'm probably going to bump-up
to regular MP2800's just to max this system out this spring, but I'm
definitely keeping a eye on the Opterons for down the road.

Bringing it back ontopic, if you are using 64 bit OS, has does Pan work?
