Intel's offerings in high performance processor / motherboards has 2
somewhat comparably priced alternatives, the "Clovertown" 5365 which is used
in 8 core Xeon 3.0 GHz versions in such products as the MacPro, and also the
"Conroe" 6850 CoreDuo Extreme Quad Core which companies like HP, Dell, and
others are / will be offering.

I am wondering if there is any reason to prefer one versus the other based
on PC performance, in particular for rendering in programs like Vegas 7.

Any opinions would be much appreciated. Thanks,

Smarty
