Is dual better than single?

[lookouthere]

Is the dual Xeon better than single P4 (800FSB)?
Both set-ups will be overclocked
the Xeon will be on Asus PC-DL Deluxe and P4 will be on Asus P4C800?
the Asus PC-DL Deluxe can be overclocked
Which set up will be better?
How high can Xeon be overclocked?

Thanks for the answers

id say p4 ht chip. cheaper and badass for performance. depends what your gonna use it for i guess. if its for a server then dualies, just cause 2 movers is always better then 1. if for personal use, p4 ht

just for personal use
probably some computating in the future

Really depends on the apps and general home computing uses are oevrkill on 2 cpus. take the p4c and use the advanatge of HT when it is available. Again like stated save the money so you can upgrade sooner in the future...

AI Overclocking
A unique option in BIOS that enables quick overclocking up to 15% (depends on CPU and RAM). It automatically detects and optimizes every relevant parameter to provide both performance and stability.


Actually, on this board, you can overclock Xeon

Well isn't the point of a Xeon solid reliability? I knew it could be done but why even try? It's almost like overclocking an Opteron.
