I need your professional opinion

[yamaharr1]

I am setting up a web server and am not sure which one would be the best so your thoughts and experiences would be greatly appreciated.

Server 1
Core 2 Quad Q6600
- Intel Core 2 Quad Q6600
- Supermicro X7SBE
- 4 GB
- 250 GB SATA II

Server 2
Dual Xeon Professional
- Intel Xeon 3.0 GHz (w/HTT)
- Intel Xeon 3.0 GHz (w/HTT)
- Supermicro X6DVL-EG2
- 4 GB
- 250 GB SATA II

Both servers after my coupon will cost just about the same with only a few dollars difference.

For a web hosting environment which server would you choose? This question is based on performance would one be better than the other?

Thanks.

Server 2 looks good.

Thanks for the fast reply I am sorry I left somethings out on server 2 the details are below.

Server 2
Dual Xeon Professional
- Intel Xeon 3.0 GHz (w/HTT)
- Intel Xeon 3.0 GHz (w/HTT)
- Supermicro X6DVL-EG2
- 4 GB
- 250 GB SATA II
- 250 GB SATA II
- RAID 1 (3Ware 8006-2LP)

I am looking at a third server does this compare to the above mentioned ones or is it much less in performance.

Server 3
Athlon X2 5000
- Processor: Dual Core AMD X2 Athlon 5000+ 2.6 Ghz Processor
- Hard Drive : 160 GB Serial ATA
- Memory: 3 GB

Server 2 i'd say!

Server 2 is the best...how much did you figure that would cost to build?

Server 1. With a quad-core you can create virtual servers/clusters to improve efficiency.

Thanks for the help after all I ended up with another choice.

@jervin32189 I was looking at dedicated servers from a company and finally opted for the one below the costs are $199 per month

Dell DQC
2 x Intel Xeon 5320
2 GB RAM
1 x 500 GB SATA II HD

I will be updating the RAM to 4GB

Server 1 would be the best IMHO.

I think we need to know what kind of Xeons these are before we make a decision.
