2120T 2.6GHz 35w
G850 2.9GHz 65w
Which will last longer and perform better in a small 24/7 server?
Im planning on buying a TX3 for this so that should be a good cooler for this! Do you think the temp would be less on the
2120T? The 2120T is like $135 and $90 for the G850 so which one?
Do you think the LGA 775 or LGA 1155 is better for pentium dual cores?

Unless you have a S775 CPU kicking about, S1155 will be better as it's more modern. The CPU you need will depend upon the tasks it is for...I don't know about Minecraft, but the other tasks wouldn't need a powerful CPU AFAIK. The G620 is cheaper than the G850, and can be underclocked to lower the power consumption to similar levels of the 2120T.
