As far as I know, they're both the same chip. It looks like the only difference is the branding - one being called a Core 2 Quad, the other labeled a Xeon sever chip.
If you're interested in the Xeon, make sure your motherboard will support it. Being Socket 775 doesn't guarantee it will work with all BIOS'.
