Default 920 vs w3520
Ok I will be buying in the next few weeks and was wondering what people think about these 2 chips what would you buy the 920 cheap but does the xeon oc better. opinions please.

The question is , did the xeon have turbo boost ? I don't check so I don't know . you don't need it now but latter if you want sell it, or use an other place, it can be something useful

Both chips are basically identical. Go with whichever is cheaper.
