Where to compare Core 2 vs. Xeon Quad?

Very complicated

Dear Bramp:
What you linked me was incredibly involved. At first glance it seems that the Core 2 would be much better, but Im in the middle of trying to figure it out. Something about the RAM having to being "optimized", indicates why the finding states, the Core 2 is so much better.

Hopefully I'll be able to figure this out, before its too late. Its incredibly complicated.

I think most of the low performance from the Xeons in S@H stems from them sharing a memory bus and using FBDIMMs.

Yes, I noticed that after I got down a few posts it was involved (over my head lol), I did a yahoo search to get that, “Core 2 Duo vs. Xeon Quad”. There are many other sites about this subject so you may try a search.
 
I want to start a server

To Cromewell:
What is S@H?
And if the reason why the Xeon is slower is just because of the shared memory and the FB(fully buffered) memory, then cant I just build around that or modify it?

I am trying to build a computer/server that can record movies/programs from TV. Obviously, with most computers with a high volume HDD of 500GB, thats only about 6-700 movies, but I read that with a server, you can just add more and more Hard drives, up to about 15-45 hard drives, so I could store much more with a server?

Maybe I'll start a new thread on this. Im still not 100% clear on the differences between, search engines, web servers, or even ISP's. Yahoo and AT&T are now merged, so what is that? Yahoo used to be a search engine and email server and now its merged with AT&T- what I thought was an ISP?
