anybody own a Xeon rig here on the boards?just wanna know how they perform. and waht cpu would yo compare them to.

I just put together a dual Xeon rig, unfortunately I can't help much with what CPU they are comparable to. I think, and keep in mind this could be completely wrong, but I think they compare to the same clocked P4, only the Xeons are multi processor capable. If I could run sandra benchmarks to help you out I would, but it wouldn't help since mine utilizes both processors, it wouldn't be fair or possible to compare them to P4's using sandra. Hope this helps, but I am sure someone else can provide a more clear answer.


Editid you just change your avatar. I thought it was one thing when I started posting, then when I finshed it was something else, but maybe I am just crazy.

I ran dual xeon 2.4 since 2002, been happy with them... was hoping for better xeon technology..

ie pci express mobo with xeon but it may look like a longer wait than expected till I upgrade this again..

I think the clock for clock xeon and regular p4 are similar, not much difference except the newer one with larger or different size of cache

thank you, and how are the boot up times? are they faster?
