Solution k1114 Jul 20, 2015 A modern i7 will outperform it or even just get a cheaper e3 1231v3. An i5 is almost on par but the xeons would be using like twice the power.

It will be hot, and difficult to expand because it uses older memory technology. It may only have PCI-X slots. Lots of reasons to NOT pick the Xeon. Upvote 0 Downvote
