Yeah, Xeon's are for webservers. You'll be spending about $1000 or more for the cpu's and mobos alone. Just watch your electricity bill go up when you have to add in the cooling for it. You probably won't need that much processing power in the near future (what are you using it for?). If I were you, just get a 3.6ghz processor, I'm barely even using up the load on my 2.8ghz pentium 4.
