Hey All,
I have an X58 box I use as a VM host (built with consumer, not server hardware). I wanted to upgrade to 6 cores so I picked up an Xeon X5650 off Ebay. However, before I received it I found a killer deal on an i7 970 so picked it up.
My question is, which would I be better off using? Both seem pretty close. I have the 970 in it right now but I'm thinking the Xeon would be the better choice.
Base system is an Evga X58 SLI3 with 24gb Corsair Dominator GT
Anyone mind giving me some input?
