Subject: Question re dual processor differences.

Question re dual processor differences.

Tiger Direct offers a dual AMD MP 2200+ for $1,650, and a dual Intel Xeon 2.4
for $3,000.  Both without an operating system.

What difference in performance would I expect between these two machines?  The
AMD dual at roughly ½ the price seems to be the much better buy, although the
Xeon should have HT, I believe?

For a Windows operating system which is better (I am a single user, no network
use, no server use), Win XP Pro or Win 2000 Pro?

Thanks!
