Apparently.  The 875 is the fastest dual-core out, and runs at 2.2ghz.  I'm
surprised they have a single-chip version that runs faster...

Not a clue.  I noticed at the WCCC that neither of the two "deep programs" chose
to use a quad dual-core box, although there are plenty of them available.
However it does take some work to make it work well.

Will be a good box.  You could expect speeds of 8M and up for Crafty, for
example...
