Xeons are used in the Mac Pro and in servers but there's nothing stopping you from using one (as long as the mobo accepts a Xeon CPU) in a PC you build yourself.

edit: you probably won't get a Xeon in anything portable - it's workstation class and needs power and cooling to match
Ahh, thanks, both of you. I'm looking at something around $500, though. And quiet as possible.
Scifi frauds. SF illuminates.
