Hello everyone!
after my two last threads and all your comments I'm quite convinced that I'd better sell my dual xeon and get an amd dual core...

Anyway my laptop is very fast and has a good video card, I'm workin on it instead that on my workstation and I'm not having problem at all, all my progs runs fast and solid.
So I was thinkin...
_ does it make any sense buying a server instead?
(no videocard, no keyboard, ...) only power!
_ there's something apart rendering that I can do distributed?

another lil question:
_ better sell my dual xeon "as-it-is" or cannibalize it and sell in parts?

Tnx and cheers!
Teo.

What do you want to do with it?
Most servers are not speced for maximum CPU power but for maximum reliability and throughput and thats what you pay the most money for.
