Processor Question

Which one do you guys think is better for a machine to run game servers?
Intel Dual Xeon 3.0 Ghz, Intel Core 2 Duo E6600 Conroe 2.4GHz 4M shared L2 Cache LGA 775 Processor, or a Dual Core Opteron 244

Dual Xeon 3070's =D......


But are you talking dual Xeon like 2 of them on a server board, or dual core? Because I see your talking dual core opty. But if your going single chip, buy a E6600 hands down.

E6600 or Xeon3060 all the way, and if your planning on overclocking them a bit. Buy a Xeon because Xeons probably havent hit the Philipine FABs yet, and the new C2D chips from the phil. are sucking out at OCing taking a ton more voltage and whatnot to become stable or reach otherwise easily obtainable clocks from malaysian FAB chips.

But of the ones you listed, C2D is the way to go for any of that.
