    Why bother upgrading? The upgrades on offer hardly seem worthwhile and you won't gain very much from them.

    If I remember correctly the 6600 is a quad-core which is fundamentally the same core as in the Xeon 3000 range.

    The Core2 and Xeon 3000 are only for single CPU machines, so your upgrade options are limited to faster CPUs. In all the servers that we have I've rarely see a quad-core CPU server maxed out, whereas RAM and DiskIO can be maxed quite easily. CPU power isn't going to be the limiting factor with a single 250GB drive and 3GB of RAM.

    The Xeon 5300 is capable of dual CPU operation, but unless you plan to go this route it probably isn't worth the upgrade, and if I was going dual CPU I'd be more interested in the Xeon 5500 range.

    I'd say, keep the money in your pocket or spend it on more ram. Better still, spend it on backup or and additional drive with RAID. That would be a much better investment.

    Intel XEON QuadCore 5310 1.60GHz 1066FSB 8MB Cache is the better among them.
    But as usual you need to have sufficient RAM to make it work better.

    For compare,you can sent your idea server spec to DC,then they will quote you the price.

    What are you going to host on those servers and are you buying your own machine or planning to get one as dedicated.

    is better followed by server config


    But whether a server performance good or not depends on overall server configuration not just CPU. You need to look in to RAM, Harddisk (space and RPM) and also bandwidth speed and size.

    Let take if you have bunch of proxy site or video sharing site like youtube than they require more RAM and bandwidth rather than CPU. So when you post question give detail about what is the main purpose of the server your are going to use

    If your looking at upgrading your CPU, depending on what you want to do with the server you may always want to see if you can get an extra 250GB hard disk in Raid 1, this is due to the one hard drive not being able to take the read's write's e.t.c from the 4 core's of the cpu.

    Again this depends on what you wish to do with the Dedicated Server.

    I think you should find dedicated server with your budget and needs for your client and feature...
    More bigger client you should have bigger dedicated server resource too...
