[SOLVED] Dual xeon x5660 or a single xeon x5660 OCd?

[zombiebros22]

I plan to run a server computer for a game called rust but I also want to multitask on this system, but I don't know which would be the best choice? As most overclocking boards go for 100 dollars and dual Xeon boards go for 100 dollars as well, I want to stick with xeons as DDR3 ECC ram is super cheap, but I am not certain if I should go for a different CPU all together or should I stick with this one. Just trying to figure out is it worth going dual or one CPU for the best performance!

With Hyperthreading those 6 core CPUs can provide 12 threads for multitasking or even VM use. Dual CPU would be 12 core 24 threads. You decide.
