The last time I was truly happy with a system was when I had a dual Opty about four years back with a true server MB (Tyan).
I typically look for 12-16 months of top notch performance from my system and the last system was great until about two months back.

Sorry, I type too much!

My question or questions;

1. Should I bite the bullet and buy the SR?
2. Any drawbacks?
3. How long can I expect this system to truly perform?
4. Do you have a shrubbery?

Yes, the last question is to determine your age and mine!
I think its worth it, but if you can hold out; hopefully there will be a SB version sometime this year
The SB version will have better results(clock-clock performance) and better efficiency
