For an online community site. How much performance difference will there be between these three servers offered by ServerMatrix.

Super Server 2.8 - 2.8 GHz Pentium 4 @ $149 Month
Super Gamerz 3.0 - 3.0 GHz P4, 800MHz FSB @ $199 Month
Super Xeon - Dual 2.4GHz Xeons @ $199 Month

all other specs are the same. Just CPU speed different.
Realistically, how many % difference will there be between these servers?

thx in advance.

I Have 4 Super Xeon - Dual 2.4GHz Xeons @ $199 Month and 3 Super Server 2.8 - 2.8 GHz Pentium 4 @ $149 Month. For just one website you should be good with the 2.8.

ok but peformancewise, by how many percent is each server better than the other?

is it 5% better ? 10%?

You also have to note that the Intel Pentium 3.0GHz comes on a 100Mbps uplink whereas the others come with a 10Mbps uplink if I am not mistaken.

oh really? that's a very important thing to know, thx

Forumz, it depends a lot on what the server will be doing, like if lots of database, then dual processor and lots of RAM and higher FSB helps a lot....
