Hi David
Fortunatelly, I don't have to buy now... But I have to upgrade only
the processor (that's the problem: locked in the sk 939 by now) by the
end of the year. Full new computers only next year (seems to be good,
anyway), with all new techs (dual procs mb for normal people, 4x
cores, etc.).
So, since I'm locked in a socket, I'm wandering what's better: the
highest clock possible, or less clock with two cores?
in that case the latter will give you way more performance.
Thanks a lot...

search the mailing list for woodcrest and you will find Florian Haberl's
benchmarks.
If you have to buy now, Intel woodcrest seems the way to go.
