Xeon Pentium 4 VS. Pentium 4

[cdrfreak2003]

I've noticed that they both go up to 3.06GHZ. but which is faster and more reliable?.. can I just use the Xeon with and computer?. is it capable with my Dell Dimesion 8250?...

Xenon processors require different motherboards than the Pentium chips, so they won't work on your Dell system. I would just stick with your Pentium 4 as there is no real reason to switch over to the Xenon CPU's. Xenon's are mainly used for servers and workstations, so I would just keep your P4 and be happy.

the Xeons are a different form factor than Pentium4s, meaning a different number and location of pins on the bottom side of the CPU, and obviously sit in different sockets and thus different motherboards. Also they run on different chipsets.

in a nutshell - 0 compatibility.
