    shaffaaf,
    You best find a better source for information than Custom PC because it's the same chip! Same cores, same everything! It even supports one more technology than the E8400 does, I/OAT! I did a lot of research last night and the only differences between the two chips is what I posted before! "Zero" gaming complaints!
    There should be nothing to affect game performance, in fact I/OAT could even help make games better if you're playing on line! No complaints of any kind from any of the E3110 buyers either! I would think that if gaming performance was an issue, with all the articles I read, that someone would have mentioned it. I think Custom PC is all wet!

    Best Regards,
    Russ

    Trouble is, that CPU isn't available in the UK yet. The E8400 finally has appeared at a few less-known stores, but the E3110 isn't even listed as ever having been available.

    That's interesting because I posted a UK link for the E3110!

    I guess you could compare the E2110 to the AMD Opteron 185 i have (server chip)

    sammorris,
    I see that now! It was in pounds when I first saw it and now it's in dollars. I was up late researching the E3110, so maybe I was just tired and made a mistake! LOL!! Sorry, my intentions were good!

    Best Regards,
    Russ

    yeah, like comparing athlons to optys and C2Ds to xeons where the optys and xeons are server chips.

    I'm seriously thinking about pouncing on one of those E3110s for now. might try a xeon X3350 2.66ghz quad core later.

    shaffaaf,
    This is from Tom's Hardware!
    Their answer?
    I think Custom PC is thinking it's like the MP Server chips, which aren't very good for games and require a different socket!

    Russ

    shaffaaf,
    Oh, I thought they were socket LGA771s! There's a 2.83GHz Kentsfield based Xeon Quad Core available as well in socket LGA775!

    For the record shaffaaf, it's Xeon, not xenon.
    As for the architectural difference, that makes perfect sense. The Opteron 165-185s were great gaming CPUs as they used the same socket and architecture as the normal X2s.
