[SOLVED] Xeon motherboards, Z400 vs Z600

[chinguunerdenebadrakh]

I found a product with a single x5660, z400(single socket) vs a dual x5660, z600. The z400 costs 33% less. Do you guys think dual cpu is any worth for just gaming? Or is any of the additional features in the Z600 worth the extra buck?
Update: I have more questions, do any of you know which one is better T3500 or z400 or z600?
Also, do I have to fill in only 3 slots while working with single cpu on dual sockets?

They are proprietary setups , so not the greatest for gaming.

Yeah, man. but there are very few FULL setups that are below 200$ and at i7 970 level.

I owned a Z400 years ago. Served me well for what it was = video editing , not very good for gaming.

The Z400 can be modded some for gaming and even overclocked with an unlocked CPU. The Dual CPU machines require RDIMM RAM which can be cheaper but can only run the dual CPU Xeons which makes overclocking impossible on those. For gaming a 6 core 12thread CPU is all you need.
