    Somebody correct me if I am wrong but I think the only differnce with the Xeon is the 512k of L2 Cache instead of 256k. The Xeon is aimed at the server market anyway. I spose you might get a perormance increase but I'm not sure.

    Ya if u get a dual Xeon system it will be the same as a dual p3 system but if u get the Xeon CPUs with the 512K l2 cache or 1Meg your system would be ALOT faster.
