@ZLO ZLO•System on E8200 or E8*** or xeon E54** or anything on 775 socket is very old and yea probably can get it for very cheap or even for free, and it will run FA... but probably worse than this xeon .
What????? What are you talking about?

Both have large cpu cache. The e8200 has 6 mb of cache for 2 cores and no hyper threading. The 2420 V2 has 15 mb for 6 cores and 6 threads with hyper threading. So with some simple math 15 divided by 6 = 2.5 mb cache per core ? But that's a guess.
6 divided by 2 = 3 mb of cache per core for the e8200, that means the e8200 has more cache for each of it's cores then the xeon no?
Your post is a bit confusing with the jpg you attached. The 2420 v2 xeon turbo clock is 2.7ghz But the v1 2420 has a turbo clock of 2.4ghz.. So either you have v1 and are overclocking or you have v2 and you are under clocking, which I ask why would you do that? Maybe it's the program your using to read the clock speed of your cpu? Plus xeons aren't generally known to be good gaming cpu's. The e8200 with a 2.66 ghz base clock are easily over clockable to 3.5 ghz with 1600 ddr3 ram.
