Here's a decent deal on a new server that would be pretty good for a entry-level server or even a relatively decent deaktop. After modifying the hard drive selection, the price comes down to $300 and you can get an additional $4.50 back with FW Cash Back.

That's a great price. Only thing that some people might find useful is that the X3430 is the only model without hyperthreading. It could make a difference to some who encode, but not for most!
mikeopp said:Are all recent win 32-bit oper. systems compatible?
Yes, they are compatible.
FYI, this processor is using the new Lynnfield core architecture from Intel. It's kindof like a hybrid between Core 2 Quad and Core i7, in the sense that it uses the execution/processing architecture of the 45nm Core 2 Quad, but has some new memory and bus architecture from Nehalem (i7, i5, etc). Ie, it doesn't have QuickPath (Intel's equivalent of HyperTransport), but it still has direct links to PCI-Express AND the southbridge, which is great. So expect it to perform as well or better than Core 2 Quad, but not as well as Core i7. This is especially true for the X3430 because this is the only processor in this Xeon model line that doesn't have Hyperthreading.
To summarize: Xeon X3430 Uses new DDR3 mem architecture Direct links to PCI-E and Southbridge Basically same processing core as Core 2 Quad Does NOT have Hyperthreading 32 bit and 64 bit OS compatible
