Dear CPU Scorekeeper

I am considering buying either a single Xeon 800 MHz or dual PIII 800 MHz configuration for my workstation. Pricing is very similar, but which one would give better performance?
- - Bruce, July 2000

See the questionCPU Scorekeeper Responds

According to Intel's latest workstation benchmark comparisons, a dual Pentium-III configuration can provide up to an 80% increase in performance over a single Pentium or a similarly-clocked Xeon. Your decision should be easy if pricing is similar.

A single Xeon system would be preferable only to provide additional error-correction & integrity checks for mission-critical computing. A Xeon configuration would also provide more processor expansion capability, if scalability is your focus.
