I was checking the prices on the Core 2s today when, "OMG XEON FOR $200 LOL!"
So.... I was reading the specs and it looks like I can basically get an E6300 with 4M cache for $20 more. I feel like there's some catch though. Even though the Xeon 3040 is an E6300 with more cache(As if the higher Core 2's don't have 4M), will it not run on the first mid-range $130 Core 2 baord I randomly pick? Any thoughts would be nice.
