Of course you can buy a 2.4/512k Xeon for $270US, only a 533FSB but you
could have two... Clearly depends on your o/s, the affordable versions
of Windows only go to two CPU, Linux does as many as you want, with HT
enabled.

As for an upgrade later, the equasion is:
2.4now + 3.0 then - 2.4resale = 3.0 now + fun_now - resale_hassle

Even if you can sell the 2.4, the price of that will be lower, you have
the hassle of doing the sale, and you don't have the 25% faster CPU now.
You might even want to just o/c the 2.4 and forget the 3.0.
