Are old server cpus good for every day use?

Solution
Just check your mobo can support it, $51 inc postage is a good deal for a quad core cpu running at 3.16 GHz.

Main difference(s) being:
1333 MHz vs 1066 MHz FSB
4 Core vs 2 Core
12MB vs 2MB Cache
3.16 GHz vs 2.13 GHz CPU Speed
45nm vs 65nm Lithography
95 W vs 65 W TDP

I think there is nothing faster for his socket but is that computer still worth spending on or just get a new one??

Im thinking that this upgrade is very good price/performance am i right in that?
