  Core 2 Extreme (quad) or Quad Core Xeons?

  Posted by Randy Mcwilson on July 20, 2007 at 4:26 pm

  This may be a Ford-Chevy debate, but I am considering building a new system with either the (Quad) Core 2 Extreme (QX6700) or a pair of Quad Core Xeons (E5320 1.86GHz) with 4 GB of Ram (should it be 8GB?)

  I work in the Adobe realm, AE, PPro, PS, all CS3.

  Any thoughts or opinions or benchmarks?

  Thanks
  Randy

  You need 2 gigs of ram per core —

  And they are all fast.
  The quads will run faster than the duals in CS3, but also cost you more to run.
