Looking at specs and benchmarks on various processors.
If a single E3-1240v2 is bringing in passmark scores of 17k and a single X5550 is around 11k, would a dual X5550 be around 22k or is that too simple?
Thinking about buying a server to colocate for personal use and a used E3-1240v2 is about 5 times the cost of a used dual processor X5550.
Also, for personnal use, crazy RAM (96GB+) is really overkill, right?
