Well, if you absolutely have money to burn, a dual xeon system would kick like no one's business.
However, that's actually wasted power and money...trust me, even if you have the money it's still not it.
Socket 939 Athlon 64 FX-53
Asus A8N SLI
2x BFG 6800 Ultra PCI-express
2x512MB of PQI Turbo 2-2-2-5 timing PC3200 (trust me, even though it's DDR400, I have gotten it to go faster than very good DDR550....)
2x74GB WD Raptor 10k-rpm hard drives
DVD-ROM/CD-RW 52x
DVD+/-RW 16x Double Layer
600 watt Ultra X-Connect
A damn good case with craploads of fans!
Zalman Copper CPU Cooler/Arctic Silver 5 paste
Killer setup, there. That will get you 9000+ points on 3d Mark 05, and will burn up anything you throw at it :o
