I am a teacher and computer engineer by training, but keeping up with
the changing technology gets difficult at times. So I turn to the list
for information some of you may already have researched. Can someone
explain to me the difference between the Pentium 4 and the Xeon version?
I know that the Xeon is designed to support multiple processors, but
can't the regular P4 do that too? I do remember something about the Xeon
supporting up to 8 processors, but I could be wrong - my memory is
sometimes volatile. Any technical input would be appreciated. I will be
teaching an assembly language class next semester and I want to brush up
on the latest processor developments.

Thank you.

Peter
