Intel Xeon 5130 Woodcrest 2.0GHz 4MB L2 Cache LGA 771 65W Dual-Core Active or 1U Processor

Pros: Excellent processor - Works as expected. Using with an ASUS DSBV-DX board and 4Gb of mem. Excellent entry level server combo.

Cons: None that I have run into yet.

Pros: Very fast, and easy to install. Run at a cool 32c under load.

Cons: None

Pros: Great processors - using with an Intel S5000VSA board and Kingston 512MB FB-DIMMS and WD SATA drives - saving a lot of money over buying a DELL of similar specs.

Cons: None.

Other Thoughts: Wish there was 3 sockets on motherboard.

Pros: Less expensive than 5160 model, while still offering good performance. Works great in dual socket motherboard for server.

Cons: none

Pros: It's a xeon - you know the specs - woodcrest kicks buns!

Cons: none - maybe no hyperthreading too? No biggie... performance shows.

Other Thoughts: Two 5130s score a 5.8 in Vista's score chart - at 2ghz these things put my old 603 pin xeons @ 3ghz to shame... Another winner by Intel!

Pros: Excellent performance. No problems running three VMs in addition to background programs.

Cons: None so far.

Other Thoughts: Excellent temperatures. 46C max load with stock cooling.

Pros: Excellent performance at lower clock speed thanks to higher IPC. Large L2 cache and high FSB along with great hardware prefetch keep this CPU well fed with data.

Cons: None.

Other Thoughts: Offers great performance with low wattage.
