For a database system, however, processors hardly ever are the main bottleneck, are they? So you should probably go for a set of "fast processors" from your favorite supplier and focus mainly on lots of memory and fast disks.

No, but it *does* matter how fast said processor can sling the memory around, and in my experience, the opterons have been much better at that due to the efficiency of the memory transport layer.
