By having four levels of cahe, it increases your bandwidth. Like having four Ferrari's doing 250mph instead of just one.

A Xeon is primarly used for servers. Not rendering and multi tasking heavy applications

So when coming at me with specs and tasks, get ready. I know my shit!

I knew a mac head would come at me with ECC bullshit! After RD ram was discontinued, all RAM is now ECC, they just dont advertise it anymore.

Does either the Intel® Core? i7 processor or the Intel® Core? i5 processor family support Error Correction Code (ECC) memory?

Neither family of desktop processors supports ECC memory. Typically ECC memory is used on servers and workstations rather than on desktop platforms. This is due to the price premium and extremely low likelihood of a data error occurring even on memory not utilizing ECC.

Idiot
