[geeks] PPro/Xeon

I really like dual Xeon systems. Much, much better than PPro IMHO - 
processor pricing is basically linear (200mhz 256k PPro like $10, 
450mhz 512k is $20), they support much cheaper ram, often include stuff 
like 64bit PCI, some systems have a better upgrade path and have AGP. 
Systems are a bit more exspensive but a 400mhz Xeon(dual capable) with 
1gb ram, 1394 and SCSI is a steal at $400 shipped IMHO. I've got two 
Xeon systems and love them.
