CPU's

Ok what's the difference between CPU's? Not AMD or Intel, but say a E8400
and Xeon E3110? Both are Wolfdale cores but the E3110 says "Server" on the
box. Looking at the spec's they look the same except for the voltage
requirements. So I guess my real question is what's the difference between
a desk top CPU and a Server Cpu? Are they inter-changeable? Will games
suffer because the CPU is designed for a server?

Why ask HERE? If you want to compare processors you should be doing
searches elsewhere - but as this has NOTHING to do with the OS it is
out of place HERE.

Ask elsewhere

what good would the OS do with out a CPU? Maybe I'm wrong but this is the
WindowXP HARDWARE forum?

Ignore the little twat.

He is a self appointed usenet nazi that has contributed nothing except his
repeated rantings about people posting hardware questions in a hardware
newsgroup.

Since there is no suitable active alternative newsgroup, your question is
welcome.

Kill file him.

How should I know? Web pages? Magazine that compare processors?
There are HUNDREDS of resources to find this information that ARE
appropriate - but this group is not one of them.

It is the place as far as everyone else is concerned. If you know a better
place (and I'm certain that you don't) suggest it.

Paul has a CONSTANT hangup when people ask for help and constantly refers

YES, BYE to YOU and stay far away. You make me sick with your constant OS
