I am looking to buy a Dual CPU workstation... Or even a single dual core. Anyone have any specs that compare a Dual Core Xeon to a Dual Xeon single core setup?
I my eye on a few refurbished Dell Precision 670's (dual cpu workstation), but I am not sure if I should get configed with a single Xeon 2.8 ghz dual core, or spend a little more and get 2 single core Xeon cpus running at 3.2 Ghz.. Ends up being close to the same price. I can always add the 2nd dual core cpu later, I am just trying to figure out which I would be better off with.
Any help figureing this out would be appreciated, I looked on TomHardware.com. but I didn't see any specs comparing Xeon single/dual cores.
Here's the other thing, do I need to be running XP-64 bit and XSI 64-bit to see any advantage?
Email me off-list if you have any info or even suggestions for other setups with a decent cost/performance ratio.
