Xeon 533 FSB or P4 800 FSB ?
Hi Guya,
I am planing to build a high performance workstation. So I know I want a dual chip system with SCSI. Form Intel's site it appears that Xeon is a better chip BUT the current Xeon available here in Toronto is mainly 533 Mhz FSB. These days the P4 with 800 FSB AND higher clock rate is very common in fact. So I am wondering weather I should realy bother going with Xeon. Xeon has parrallel instruction (in some instructions) BUT then P4 is higher FSB. Also if I build the system on 800 FSB I can go get a faster BUS on motherboard. Another problem with Xeon is (I think not sure though) that it has different pin config so I cannot move to P4 later if I want to . Any comments ? -Thanks Manish M |
