I'm considering getting a machine with Xeon processors but am a little confused about the variations and their Passmark scores!
They're listed here in order of price but the 5130 cpu is listed as having the lowest Passmark score. I'm assuming that the score was for a single cpu machine but how much of a difference will 2 cpu's make? Will it be twice as fast?
They will be running 32 bit Win 7 (I think) but am being advised to use 74 bit instead. Just worried about CS3, office, 3DSMax etc not being 64 bit compatible! All have 4gb RAM large HD's etc.
Dell Precision 690 with 2 Xeon 5130 (2GHz) cpu
Dell Precision 690 with 2 Xeon 5050 (3GHz) cpu (can't find this one listed!)
MP25 Precision T7400 Dual Intel Xeon X5472 3.0GHz
Dell Precision T3500 workstation W3520 2.66GHz 4.8GT/s
Any thoughts would be really appreciated as I'm more than a little confused!
