Tesselator,
Thanks -- I meant to get back with you sooner.

May I ask, for 64-bit applications capable of taking advantage of 4+ cores, how does the 2008 2.8 GHz quad compare with the 2009 2.66 quad?

Should be the same difference from what I can tell. I'm not that sure tho. Someone else may know more. I'm just a hacker - or so I've been told. :D

Yeah, there's a limit to what I can really understand when the articles/threads really get into the nuts and bolts of how these chips work. Though I'm pretty new to this stuff, I'm finding it strangely addictive.:)

Yup, pretty fun stuff. :)
