Xeon or i5?

hi

so if you had a choice, would you buy an intel i5 2500, or a xeon 1235? ive heard the xeon is basically a i7 2600 cocked 200mhz lower, but are there any other differences?

my company that i work for is offering 2 separate builds for some design, video editing and photoshop work. i also use word and web browsing a lot too. both builds are identical (with 12gbs ram, 1tb hard drives, 430w PSUs, and Windows Home Premium. they also have some GPUs but i forget which ones. i think they were some chips that were in the $100 range)

so, Xeon 1235 or i5 2500? obviously, no overclocking

thanks

Hi

You need to consider prices.... Xeons plus motherbards are drastically more expensive...they are for Servers, not ordinary machines...


All the best Brett
