Toms Hardware pits Six Dual Xeon Motherboards against each other.
Toms also has some thoughts on Dual Xeon vs single P4 EE
A mainstream platform with lots of gigahertz that is based on a relatively-pricey Intel P4 or AMD Athlon64 doesn’t always guarantee enough performance for professional-use applications such as CAD or OpenGL. These professional applications also demand enormous computing resources. The smarter choice is a dual-processor platform which, as we previously demonstrated in our introductory article Two Xeon CPUs Are Better Than One Intel P4 Extreme Platform, offers the requisite performance. Here, we look at and compare six dual Xeon motherboards and offer tips for choosing the right cooler and form factor.
