Have you looked into upgrading your Duo CPU to a quad? I believe
both use socket 775, so it should be quick (assuming the power
supply is adequate).

Upgrading the CPU is no biggy. It's the same mobo as the quad.
Power is good two. Both have 700 watt supplies.

Upgrade the OS, and you're crunching more for less money.

That's the issue. Not so much the OS, but all the tons of
stuff I'd have to reinstall. And I mean A LOT!!!

The proposed second quad machine wouldn't just be for Seti.
