Precision 530 vs 650
Any one could let me know which is faster
both at dual xeon 2.8Ghz
530 @ 400Mhz Bus speed, RDRAM
650 @ 533Mhz Bus speed, DDR RAM
some said RDRAM is a bit faster, then again only max out at 400Mhz
where 650 at higher bus speed
another thing too is RDRAM runs in pair, so i think it is faster that way as well
Anyone use both unit before ?

I have both units, though not identicalo to your configuration.
I have a 530 1.7G Xeon (3 years old) with 1G RDRAM at homerunning 2000.
I have 650 with 2-3.0G Xeons and 2G Ram, running XP Pro
While the 650 is faster, I can't say it's 2x faster. My insticts tell me the 530 in your case is probably the better performing machine. I do know that all my systems with RDRAM scream.
