Windows 10 or 7 could run on a dual Xeon setup, but performance for gaming might vary depending on the specific hardware and configuration.
Two Xeons 7400 might offer more power compared to your Q8600, depending on your needs.
I received the dual Xeons along with the motherboard and 4GB of RAM for free.
I would match it to my present GPU (750ti Asus 2gb OC Edition)
Both operating systems should support Dual XEON configurations. For gaming performance, additional RAM may be necessary. XEONs are capable of handling gaming tasks, even though this wasn't their main design purpose. Typically, they are optimized for reliable processing rather than graphics. Their solid performance comes from dedicated hardware, not integrated graphics. A separate GPU is usually required. I suggest increasing memory capacity. Based on my assessment, the XEON models may be outdated, and you can often find more affordable options at sites like servermonkey.com. Registered memory tends to be costly, and it’s generally necessary to pair it with XEON systems.
Memory performance on older servers can be affected by speed settings. DDR2 or DDR3 aren't necessarily better choices. You might be able to use non-ECC RAM if your motherboard allows it, though mixing types isn't recommended. Check the motherboard manual for supported RAM configurations. Many server models have fixed PCIe revisions that impact stability.
It matches other CPUs as expected. A few newer XEON models support non-ECC, but most still need error correction due to their intended use. Some i7 and lower-end XEONs share a similar chip design, which might permit non-ECC memory. Most dual CPU motherboards are server-grade, built for high-end XEON processors that require error correction. The chip version wasn't specified, but it's wise to stick with the top-tier options to avoid reliability problems. This is especially important with large memory capacities. Recent mainboards, CPUs, and RAM have improved significantly, making non-ECC reliable for big memory sets. Still, he received the RAM and CPUs at no cost—best practice advises registering them only for XEON models.
