Core 2 Duo VS. Dual Core Xeon - Page 2

AJLynn · January 25th, 2007

Not much. The 3220 doesn't support dual CPUs, so either way you've got 4 cores at the same speed and they're based on the same architecture, so the difference in performance will be negligible. The Xeon will be more expensive.

Andrew,
Since you're so hardware savvy, i sure would be great if you and/or someone else in these forums could maintain a simple page on this site (not a forum), where you recommend your top choice for a $1000 computer, $1500, and $2000 for 3D use. The same questions keep getting asked over and over and it would be cool to see what you guys thought was the latest and greatest out there. Nothing fancy, just the basic specs and a sentence or two about it.

Yeah, i second what Brian says.

the concern i have is things are so dynamic and always changing and it would have to be a person keeping up such a project and doing allot of testing and that it may lean towards favoritism based on past experience, not everybody having the same ones
but overall generally i agree with the idea that we can help each other out by bringing what we know together to build more affordable powerful boxes.
