Hello,
I currently have a P4 3.0E running at 3.45Ghz (230 FSB) on an IC7-G board with 1GB BH-5 running at 2-3-3-6. I've been reading a bit about dual xeon setups and have a few questions. I have a couple "leftover" servers sitting in my apartment, both have 2x 2.4Ghz XEON SL73L 533FSB procs.
Also, I am in the process of building a massive storage array (4x300GB in RAID5). In order to do this, I'm going to have to build a new machine. Now, to my question:
Does it make sense for me to pickup a NCCH-DL and some new TCCD and run my primary (ie gameing and programming workstation) on the Dual system? What type of performace difference will I experience while playing games like CSS? My LCD requires me to run games at 1920x1200, so losing a noticable amount of performace in gaming is unacceptable to me, as I'm right at 60fps now (vsync'd). I would love to OC these procs I have laying around, but I wouldn't be that upset if I just put them in another system which ran my NFS.
TIA.
