Go with the Nehalem, assuming it is two processors. We always prefer Xeon's over a desktop processor as they are designed to be pushed to the limits 24/7 without skipping a beat.

The i7 920 will give you performance much better than the E5504 because:
-920 has hyperthreading, giving you 8 logical cores. 5504 doesn't, so you only get 4 cores.
-920 runs on a much higher frequency - 2.66 GHz vs. 2.00 GHz
-920 has a much larger L3 cache - 8MB vs. 4MB
-920 has a faster QPI interface: 6.4GT/s vs. 4.8GT/s
The 5504 is really a crippled version of Nehalem. The Xeon equivalent of i7 920 is E5550.
If you're getting a single socket server, there's no reason to get a 55xx processor instead of a i7 - it'll just cost more while offering lower performance

bingo continuation
The Xeon equivalent of i7 920 is E5550.
I would also get the i7 when comparing 5504, and an i7.

If you decide on the I7 find out about the chassis you are going on since , while powerful, is still a desktop chip.

"Nehalem" does not necessarily mean it is better than the others (previous CPUs).

The 920 is much better than a single 5504.

We've run into problems with the Nehalem running RHEL 5.3. Depends on the OS you plan to put on it.
