I wouldnt say stupid, if you have the money and want to play with things maybe even if you dont need them then so be it. It would be neet to play with one just to see what it can do.
Plus for those people that have servers at home or similer things it wouldnt be a bad idea.

I just started thinking though. Wouldn't Nehalem with its 8 virtual cores out perform this chip for server applications? It sure is a heafty price tag even for a XEON.

Last time I heard, Google actually doesn't have really high-end servers (they're still transitioning from the P4/Netburst era). They just have heaps and heaps of them

Thats pretty impressive, 6cores with that much power usage must have some decent temps, thats not bad at all.
