We'd be interested to hear from anyone who has such a machine or tested one (single or dual processor Xenon with 1M or 2M cache and varying RAM sizes) and could tell us about its performance. We would particularly like to know how such machines compare with pentium III and/or IV machines. Any information on this will be greatly appreciated.
