You need to upgrade to one of the AMD64 models.

I think they are faster than advertised. AND run cooler!

Cooler? Er... no. Thye've just got a better cooling solution. They need it. Trust me on this one.

They do SEEM faster. The Athlon64 and the FX51 can both run more simultaneous threads due to MUCH higher core bandwidth. The intergrated memory controller makes that scalable as well. Over clockers have been DREAMING about a rig like this. Check out Tom's Hardware Guide for what happens when you get spiffy with a liquid cooler for it. Makes the P4 look pitiful.
