[Wien] CPU advice

I am going to buy a few more nodes for my own small cluster. From what I
can see the Skylark 6130 looks to be an appropriate CPU/cost compromise,
taking into account that I have 4 IB connections available so 32 cores/node
is appropriate. I am undecided as yet about 4Gb/core or 6Gb/core -- the
target is large calculations.

Any comments?
