Dual P4 Xeon 2.8GHz -VS- C2D ?

[Bastage1]

what would give better gaming performance with 2 gig DDR2 ...

cant seem to find any 3d bench tests comparing the 2 maybe someone here would know or have a good link

Those two processors are manufactured for two completely different reasons, so it would be hard to find a benchmark to compare them. If I were to make an educated guess though, I'd say that the C2D would be better for the purpose of gaming.

that would be my guess too , however I was wondering if there was anything to substantiate it , kind of curious as to how well a dual xeon would stand up against c2d in 3d bench gaming situations ..

any personal experiences out there ?

That compares Mac workstations (that use dual-Xeons) to single processor gaming machines. The latter won, and since the C2Ds are way better than the processors that won, then C2D would be the better choice.

thanks...

the suspicions are confirmed ...

to bad too seen a hell of a deal on a dual xeon too...

I'm gonna have to pass on it though
