Story: Benchmarks: the unofficial eight-core Mac Pro

Application support is everything

How about a test with a program other than Cinebench which is KNOWN to support 8 threads like Lightwave?
Especially Lightwave.
We're all learning the lesson that unthreaded or lightly threaded (2 core) applications just don't use the extra cores but the folks likely to want 8 cores probably have a specific app in mind.
How many cores can AfterEffects use? How about HD video editors like FinalCut? The biggest application for 8 cores would likely be Maya - how does that do?

So if you upgrade to XP SP3 you can't uninstall Internet Explorer, I'm quite sure I'm having a Deja-vu feeling about MS preventing people from uninstalling Internet Explorer in other Windows products.
