Pardon me for asking questions that all - except me - already know -

What are the differences of Xeon processors from Pentiums?

What are the benefits of using Xeons instead of plain vanilla Pentiums?

Is there a speed difference - even with the same MHz rating?

What are the strong points of Xeon, as compared to Pentium?

I heard some talk about "stability" of Xeon, but what does that means? I
thought most times the computer hangs is because of the softwares'
(read: OS) faults, very seldom we see hardware failure causing whole
system to hang.

In SMP environment, does Xeon shine better? How about uni-proc
environment? How about clusterred environment?

Is there anywhere in the Net where I can get the info?

Many thanks in advance.

If it is not too troublesome, I'd like to have a copy of your reply.
Please CC: me a copy. My email address is at lisse@saintmail.net.

Thanks again.
