slightly offtopic
@informal did you consider that harpertown is (almost) available and penryn's server variant is much better than core2 in server workloads because of the the 1600fsb (up to 20% per clock improvement in memory intensive apps). thus barcelona doesn't look so good anymore even for servers...
edit: I don't want to go further offtopic on Barc vs. Harpertown. So I just want to add; I don't know much about the availability of serverparts here in Europe as I'm not purchasing any. Maybe they are widely available or not..
