Well honestly, with how cheap you can get a quad core from Intel... I
say do that :). The general difference between a dual core opteron and a
dual core xeon will likely not be noticeable to a PostgreSQL
installation (generally speaking).
However, the two extra cores (even if slower), will greatly help if you
have any kind of concurrency.
