I suspect that those three applications can all benefit greatly when their code is optimized for 64-bit. That may take some time though. The 2MB L2 will probably help too, but to a lesser degree than 64-bit optimizations.
I just measured mine and it's approximately 9 inches deep. You might still be fine with it hanging off the edges a bit since the base is irregularly shaped.
To answer my own question, I found a review of a 660 engineering sample here. The review is in Chinese, but the performance stats seem clear enough. Looks like you can expect a 1-10% performance improvement over the 560 depending on your application. And I assume that doesn't factor in the...
Looks like the new Intel 6xx Prescotts with 2MB L2 cache and EM64T are now available on zipzoomfly:

Anybody seen a review anywhere with performance figures?
