Anyone have any experience with Intel Xeon processors? Good or bad?
I'm running 2 right now. I don't notice any difference from a regular multi-core CPU. Stick with the Duo line and you should be alright.
Harold's right, you won't see much of a difference in a home box or workstation box. Xeon processors were designed with heavy server applications in mind.
Well, you'll see one difference, a bigger dip in your bank account
I have a 2 x Xeon machine (= 4 cores) but the motherboard is RAM-limited (how weird is that?) so it's not used for CAD but it currently runs 4 SETI@home tasks.
Thanks to everyone for the input. It is greatly appreciated.
