Mabyboi ... I am running an i7-920 at 4.0 GHz which helps and sometimes it is days between when I actually plug in a video cable and look at that machine :-)
I am also running it with HT off anf most importantly, because this is a dedicated crunher (cpu doing WCG) I am running Windows XP which helps reduce runtimes by ~20 minutes per wu.
