Whats up guys. I was wondering, whats the purpose of using a server processor like an opteron or a xeon in a gaming setup? How do these processors compare to normal desktop cpu's in terms of gaming?

People use server processors like Xeons for gaming? That's something new.

here ya go... the x3210 performs behind the qx6700 (around the q6600) but it'll overclock as well as the q6600 if you get the g0 (people got decent overclocks with B3's)
