Which includes two 2.66GHz Dual-Core Intel Xeon Processors. It sells for $2500 at my local computer store, the same price I paid for a Apple II GS in late 80's and a couple of hundred dollars more for a Pentium-4 MMX 233 mhz computer in 1996. Amazing! If this was qualified by Digi: My geeky question is what would you think the number of d-verbs would run under (approximate?).... ...XP? ...OSX? OO2R & Mbox2 Owner.

It was tested by Nikki-K back in 09/06 in the Quad thraed. It got 190 Dverbs with 4GB of RAM in OSX. I can't remember what she got with WIN XP in bootcamp. Matt

Wow, and out of the box non-overclocked. So overclocked would make it 250 perhaps.

From what I remember Mac's have no provision for Overclocking in their BIOS. However you could drop 2 of any of these in it and have an 8 core. This was tested here: Matt

I see that now. I didn't realize they changed to EFI when they switched to MAC-Intels. Matt
