Intel Xeon MP 1.9 GHz processor

Advantages: Established, good value, stable, large L2 cache
Disadvantages: Not the cheapest nor the best performing

...This processor, based on the highly successful Pentium III core is well established in servers - the large (up to 2mb) L2 cache allows good server performance for multiple users. It can be used in dual or quad array, and currently is available in speeds of up to 800mhz. New competitors in the field, including P4 Xeon and AMD MP Athlon 'Palomino' may be ahead in terms of performance, but currently P4 Xeons cost the earth, and P4 is doubted to be much better performers than PIII anyway. The AMDs are currently unreleased to the market, therefore leaving the PIII to take up the slack in small server markets. Its core enhances over the PII Xeon make it a more viable option, and price drops to keep the PIII competitive with AMD and P4 make it economically sensible.

Advantages: very fast, reliable
Disadvantages: pricey, need to have IT knowledge

The main let down of this is the variation in the price, while this may be good, you dont want to be paying too much when you can get a compute just as good for the same high price or cheaper. But as i said before, if you can get a good deal, and know what your talking about, this is most recommended... Read review

Advantages: Extreemly fast for servers
Disadvantages: Compatible motherboards hard to find.

...The Pentium III XEON is an extreemly fast LAN server processor-With its massive cache size (2mb roughly) it can support multiple High powered os plaforms on every computer (eg-Windows 2000. Becuase of That if is a very good processer of the Extreme gamer,you can run FlightSimulator 2001 (not curently out!) about 2x the speed! I would recommend this product to anyone who wants a processer to support massive quantitys of gameplay-or to a small-medium sized company who wishes tohave maximum speed and value for mone. -------------------------------------------------------------------------- -------------------------------------------------------------------------- * end * If there are any further Qusestions you have to ask email me: Riceo100@aol...
