Bought this because it was rated higher that the fastest "X" model i7 chips and cost less than half as much
2 of 2 found this helpful Was looking for a "best case" alternative to the "X" i7 core cpu, checked the passmark ratings and this was rated signficantly higher and cost less than half as much, installed it, had to get another copy of Windows 7, forgot that the different cpu would be an issue with activation, but it's worth it for the much better performance. There's another Xeon in this series that's a little faster but not by enough to make it worth the added cost, this one was a big step up from the next one down which was selling for almost as much. This has worked out real well, it's extended the life of this system by performance improvement and am getting a lot more out of the EVGA X58 motherboard with 16 gig ram than before.
