What's the difference between desktop and server CPUs? Specifically, what is the difference with respect to a gaming computer?
I was looking at the new Xeons being released by Intel and their specifications look great, but is there a downside as they are "server CPUs", with respect to gaming?

Also this is a bonus question that doesn't have to do with CPUs, but do harddrives affect gaming performance? I see a lot of people with expensive 100-150gb drives, much more expensive than the 500 gig drives, and wonder why they use them. Are they better for games? Do you have dual harddrives, one for gaming, one for the rest?
Thanks
