All I can see, is the support for 1333MHz memory on the Xeon parts, which is what explains the additional bandwidth. (Other than ECC support of course).
I do like ECC, and the ability to check for memory errors is nice. I may go ahead and switch at some later date (if I can locate a part I'd want for the right price).But for now, I'll stick with what I've got.

The Voltage Range looks less also, but it's what most expect.
Anyway, I'm not trying to convince anyone of anything. I think all who bought the i7 are smart to save some money and not let their worries get in the way of their buying decision. It's just for me, my worry won over my ability to save money. Hard to do, but hey, there's always a first.
