Two Xeons? *fistbump* multi cpu FTW!

I need all the power I can get from my CPUs I can get. You don't notice the difference until to switch to a computer with less power. I browse with 100 tabs open, compile huge swaths of code in the blink of an eye, game on multiple virtual machines at once (a lan party on a single computer!), encrypt huge folders (my porn takes up more than a single 3tb drive you know).

But to be honest, most people will be satisfied with something more modest. I suggest looking into the Xeon E3 line.
