Hey guys, I am wanting to change my system to another board and I have a Dual core AMD processor and a Quad core Intel Xeon processor.. Should I have my server on my Quad core or my Dual core? I will be putting my Gaming system on the free CPU.. The CPUs are the Intel Xeon E5506 and the Amd Athlon ii x2 270.. I looked up the specs and I can't find alot of performance difference, I can OC the Dual core but not the Quad core.. Also does anybody know if I can put my Full ATX Mobo in a Dell Precision T3500? The board in there looks ATX soo..

usually prebuilts from dell have custom motherboard cutouts, so I'm doubtful you'll be able to fit a consumer motherboard in it. It is possible, but I'm doubtful that it will work.

Personally I would put the amd cpu on the server because 'some' games have stopped support of dual cores. Whatever build has the xeon is likely to be significantly more powerful.

 

Damn those are old cpus.

Do you think that Sata 2 bottlenecks my SSD any? Like would I get any performance diff from using Sata 2 vs Sata 3 for my SSD?
