you should buy the fastest cpu and max memory you can afford
- not based on "name brand" products
get a sgi challenge T10000 if you can get one :-)
whether opteron or xeon will run faster for passwd cracking is another
issue
which motherboard you pic does make a difference due to which chipset
is used on the motherboard ..
intel based chipset is better
serverworks chipset used to be better for the p3/p4 days
