PS: Good info nonetheless for those using Westmere chips. I forgot about that thread.
Ummm. I think you are confusing your core names with "code names". For one the vanilla board is completely different from the classified just have a look at the two boards real close. All 6 core westmere desktop parts are codenamed "gulftown" they are in essence all based off the westmere core regardless of whether or not intel decided to call them the server or desktop part.
