i agree... opterons are good too but we decided on xeons because we simply found them to be pretty stable since we started using them when they first came out and stuck with them that's all.. heck even the g5 I have (for my creative side =) is good too but man are they LOL >>> [EMAIL PROTECT

You'll have to run some tests to find out for sure, but it won't be 100% faster, due to processor synchronization overhead. One thing to watch out for, your second processor may not be fully compatible with your current one, so you might have to go through a couple to find one that works.  Intel r
