Hi,
Ive been on new egg. Basically im after a dual quad core xeon PC. However, i didnt realise quite how expensive some xeons are. What I find confusing is that you can buy a 2.4GHz xeon dunnington for $2300 and a 3.0GHz yorkfield for $350.
Why are some versions so much more expensive, and should I care, or should I just try to get the highest GHz that I can afford?
Thanks!
James
p.s Im only after processing power, things like power consumption arnt an issue as this isnt for a server and wont be on 24/7.
