So I've decided to create a workstation, because my desktop PC is long due for an upgrade and my laptop in not the answer.
Since gaming is not my concern - I've been eyeing the Server Chips (Xeons and Opterons)
But I have not found any real world comparisons of these series.
I want to use this workstation for Audio Production, Video Editing, some 2d CAD applications and calculations (MatLab, for example).
My budget for a CPU is not that big - 400-500$ (+-50$).
Since I am a believer in AMD, I hope that the best option for my budget would be an AMD chip, but, of course, I do not really know what to choose, since I've never worked with Server chips.
So, what can you recommend me?
