CPU vs CPU, the Dual Core will kick the Dual Xeon 3.0's ass.

Quadcore vs Dual Xeon 3.0 will rape.

My favorite CPU right now is the Core2Quad Q6600... it absolutely monsters through everything and is actually one of my best sellers. It sells so well that I keep running out of stock damnit!

Definitely get Server B, with Core2Quad Q6600.
Sales dude says:

Core 2 Duo E6600 2.4GHz (dual-cores, 4MB Cache)
4GB DDR2 ECC RAM
73GB 10k Raptor SATA HDD1
73GB 10k Raptor SATA HDD2

With ability to upgrade to quad later. Will this upgrade to quad be the quad strenth you are talking about? Is this or will it be a Core2Quad like this?
