Hi guys, I have a question for you guys. I have a buddy of mine who has a Intel XEON 3070 clocked at 2.66GHZ, and he is willing to sell it to me for cheap with the Mobo, An ASUS P5M2-m. So first of all, That mobo won't support my 9800GTX right?
So would getting a new MOBO that supports that CPU give me a performance boost in Gaming applications? Or can I use my ASUS P5B Vanilla to run the XEON?
I know these are Noobie Questions, But what are the differences between server CPU's and Regular C2D's? Would My C2D E6400 OC'd to 3.1Ghz Be on Par performance wise with the XEON or is going to be slower in regards to Gaming Apps.
And how do the XEON's Overclock, Providing my Zalman CNPS 9500 fits on that XEON? Will my Aftermarket cooler fit on this CPU??
I read somewhere that XEON's Are just the same as a Conroe? Is that a Accurate statement or no?
I need to know if it will be worth the trouble of getting a new MOBO and making the switch for many Gaming Apps? But if i get all this done and switched out, what other Performance Gains will I see, Burning, editing ETC...
Would I be able to Overclock the XEON CPU very high, what are Avg Overclocks for these CPU's.
On Newegg they are going for around 350-400 bucks, so what else are they Good for besides acting as a serer??
thanx as always guys for you help.
