Sample Server Spare Parts Build

Hi all,

I'm building an additional sample server out of parts I have sitting around. Cobbling together spare parts is so much more......challenging....than designing and building an integrated system. Seems like there's a problem to be solved around ever corner, but it's all coming together and I'm in the final stretch.

Last decision is processor related......
In a dual processor lga 1366 configuration would a sample server be better off running a pair of E5645s (6x 2.4ghz @ 80W) or a pair of W5590s (4x 3.0x @ 130W).

I know there's a tradeoff between cores and clock speed. What do you guys think is the best way to go?
