Nope. An overclocked Q6600 rig would beat it and cost less without the hassle of two CPUs. Only have to go to 3.2+ to achieve this.
Ever heard of the 1066->1333fsb pad mod?
Fine, go by an IBM 20 x 4.4ghz per core cpu for 1million dollars.

IBM servers are ridiculously overpriced,
propriety masses of crap.
Relative to any other PC-based server I can buy.Overpriced? Relative to what? They are only overpriced if you don't need what they offer.
(The word propriety does not suit the tone of your response so I believe you mistyped. I am basing my response on the assumption that you meant proprietary. Please correct me if I'm wrong as I don't want to misconstrue what you meant.)
Proprietary? Sure. Masses of crap? No.
LOL!! Comparing a overclocked desktop processor to a specifically designed stable server processor... that has got to be a new one.
Next you are going to tell me your VTEC Civic with NOS will eat a Z06 Vette anyday.

Instead of trying to explain why 8 Clovertown cores at 1.6 is better than 4 overclocked Kentsfield cores, you just attack me. Nice. In case you haven't noticed, a lot of people overclock stably here. There is nothing special about Clovertown or the server designation of this system. It's underpowered by multiple CPUs that are older than Kentsfield, comes with a tiny hard drive, hardly any extras, and only 1 GB of expensive RAM. It's bottom of the barrel. But I guess it's a Dell. Big whoop.

Indeed. Touche. But that would undermine the invincible stability of this Dell server and threaten the warranty you see.

There is not much more because Clovertown is so damn old. I'm glad someone see value here. I don't. Enjoy.
Great for vmware.. Just load it with memory
