I sold my 8-core xeon box today. I wanted to get rid of it while it still had some value. Now I'm in the market for something newer and faster. I can pick up an i7 930 set up with the money I got today. What do you guys think?

Seems to be a good choice.
With Hyper threading you'll have 10 to 30% more results when crunching.
Core i7 architecture is even more efficient than core2. Go for it.

Unfortunately there is actually no real challenger in the AMD world...

Just my luck, Fry's had this great deal but they were sold out by the time I got there tonight. #Cussing out
