After doing a little more research, apparently the
xeon processor doesn't add more cache memory. It just
works with a slightly faster bus and with a multiple
processor configuration. 

So instead of getting to purchase a high end video
card, I'd have to purchase 2 processors, even though
essentially every application I'd be using only makes
use of one processor at a time. That choice doesn't
make financial sense to me.
