    Depends on the price. The Xeon is obviously better, but at what cost?

    a xeon is sure better since it is a server chip, however if you don't use it for high resource stuff, a p4 would be enough since it should be cheaper than a xeon.

    The Xeon is much faster & would give better performance, remember the network must also be good otherwise whats the point in having a good server without having a good network. Marki know's what am talking about .

    Xeon will give you better performance, of course. You need to look at what you are looking for, price or performance?
