Performance/Price is >king. Who the hell is running that company? Those are Xeon processors with a 2M cache. That is the reason for them being so expensive. Slater was right when saying price/performance will beat Mhz any day of the week. Intel needs to clue into that. I have both an Intel machine and an Athlon machine. I do prefer the Intel machine due to no heat warnings, and stability. I like the Athlon for the speed, but that is about it.
