Thanks again.
I'm actually considering 2500K, I don't really need HT. I'll be sure to post my results when I get them, but SP1 for Win7 hasn't been released yet so perhaps a lot of the Linpack problems stem from lack of AVX support. Even disregarding that, I'm fairly sure that the speed path is in the decode stage, so I think real world apps may be the best determinant of stability. Cinebench or x264 comes to mind.
