that's on a 12-month old iMac. Not bought for encoding, but it does a nifty job the few times I ask it too... |
I should have worded that better.. an i7 has only one qpi link so it'd be impossible to use it in a dual processor setup (which you'd have if you got the latest and greatest mac ><).

Not exactly... Xeon (aka server/workstation) cpu's are made with much higher quality than desktop cpu's; desktop cpu's (ie i7) are made for power first, whereas WS/server processors are made for stability ><
