Hi,
I found a couple of sites that compared core 2 duos to dual core xeons and
they report that for processor intensive tasks the xeons were slightly
better but for memory intensive tasks the core 2 duos came out better
because of the slower memory speeds of the xeons compared to the core 2 duos
(ddr2 667 vs ddr2 800). The dual core xeons had a faster fsb than the core 2
duos (1333 vs 1066).
These tests were comparing one core2 duo against one dual core xeon.
I imagine that in a system like a Mac pro that uses two dual core xeons, the
performance should be a lot better than for a single core 2 duo PC system,
which is what I'm trying to research.
You may have already seen this site, but I'll pass it on.

What a weird link! I hope it works. I just copied and pasted.
