Minor Upgrades

Any reason for choosing a Xeon over a normal desktop processor.

What sort of perf benefits does it offer.

Corei5 does not support HT whereas this xeon does and pricewise both are same. Ofcourse the Xeon was purchased in US but still.
Also Usually server CPUs are binned better so they could run at lower voltages, could clock higher etc etc.

^And don't they undergo a rigorous QC check and other validation processes before they're shipped?

How could you ask something like- "Why an Opteron instead of an Athlon?"
