I have a Dell Poweredge 530 workstation that was serving as my Minecraft server. It's a 9-year-old UCSD dumpster special, but it has two 2.4ghz Xeons and 2GB of RAM. Not bad for a dumpster computer.
Buddies all stopped playing Minecraft, I myself got kinda tired of it, and parents were bitching about the downstairs computer (P4) being slow. So the Minecraft server got decommissioned and I installed Windows 7 on it for the parents. It surprisingly runs Windows 7 like a fucking champ. It runs better than XP.
Anyway, I am concerned about power consumption. Are Xeons capable of throttling and/or speedstep? I don't see the need for both CPUs to be running full tilt 24/7 when all this computer does is web browsing and playing mp3s.
I can get the exact model #s for the Xeons if necessary. They are the really old-school ones that don't have a 64-bit instruction set.
Thank you all
