What is the time control? What is the standard deviation for the figures. With the current number of games played with exactly this setup, I should think the standard deviation will be absurd. For all of these programs, eventually we should get some good numbers. Probably not on that hardware, though. "Quad Xeon" does not mean anything by itself. There are many different CPU speeds, memory configurations, etc. for the Xeon versions of Intel processors. I don't know why people like to spend so much time saying that computers are GM's or computers are not GM's or computers are this or that ELO. Eventually, we will have enough data for an answer. It appears (from the Rebel matches) that Rebel on a 600 MHz machine is just under 2500 ELO [IIRC] but that number should become more refined over time.
