Hi all, long, LONG time lurker who needs a little help.
I've been offered near identical machines but with very different processors/motherboards. For reference, I play quite a few games and do quite a bit of database crunching.
Chips are:
Xeon E5420
i7
E5520
http://ark.intel.com/compare/33927,76297,40200
I've also been offered the E5520 and E5420 in pairs too - so two CPUs on the motherboard.
The i7 is the most expensive of all offered but I'm wondering how much of a difference this would have over a dual CPU Xeon E5420 for example?
Any advice really appreciated.
