Xeon
What is it that makes Xeons sucha big letdown in normal desktops? <At least that's what i've heard...i know they're intended for servers, but still...i don't quite get this.
"Just curious"

Cost? I've seen quad-core Xeons cheaper than desktop quads, even Phenom which is a cheapo...?

Most Xeons that are up to date with other processors such as the Core 2, are expensive... Like this 45nm Xeon... http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...17164&Tpk=Xeon Or this one... http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...GHz+and+higher When you say they're cheap, you were probably looking back at older models.. |

What do Xeons have that normal desktops don't? They don't just charge $1000 for the name "Xeon", do they? I figured that if they're a letdown in desktops, there has to be something (for servers) that normal C2Ds or quads don't have...

Well I guess that makes sense. Anyone else have anything to add to this...?
