I have said 2650+ (500Mhz is actually 2528) for single proc boxes (may be a
little more for latest single proc boxes). The 8-way box will be 2750 (average)
for tournament play.  GM K and GM K should make the 8-way box look about 2650 in
match play.  I have not deviated from this assessment, however, thanks for
keeping me honest.  :)
