Edit. [URL] Seems to imply that Socket 1155 and 1150 are fine but I'm not getting that from the spec. Intel® Xeon® Processor E3-1200 v3 Family; 4th generation Intel® Core™ i7 and i5; 4th generation Intel Core i3 coming soonTurbo Boost Technology 2.05 and Intel Integrated HD Graphics on select processors; optional Intel vPro™ technology I think the problem with XEON is that its not better or faster and DOES NOT support INTEL Graphics so you would REQUIRE a video card for it to work.    
Hi, I know there are many variables however generally speaking, what would be the faster box, the T1700 i5 or the 9020 i7.  Say they had the same Ram and graphics card. Thanks   oz
What is faster? T1700 i5 or 9020 i7
