Hi, I was just looking on my suppliers website and I see all of these Intel Xeon processors which (as far as I can remember) weren't there a few weeks ago... are these the new processors everyone is on about... here is the list

(In Australian dollars)

I was going to get a Q6600 but I fell short of my budget so I can afford to spend at most... another $200.. would I be better off getting one of these... which one would be good....

And if someone can explain to me what the whole active and passive thing is... I would appreciate it...

Thanks,
 
The Xeon procs are designed for servers - Socket 771. If you have the money, and you think it's worth it, you can buy the Skulltrail mobo for $600 in February. You can run two Quad Xeons', giving you a total of 8 cores.
 
nah.. i dont have that much money at my disposal lol

so ur saying id be better off with the Q6600? It's not a server... I just want the best performance possible (for a reasonable price of course)
 
cool... i suppose i can always upgrade later on to get the new processors

they'll fit on the X38 chipset won't they?
