Since the 2600K (3.4Ghz/3.8Ghz) and the 3820 (3.6Ghz/3.9Ghz) are, on paper, somewhat similar, I'm assuming that the 3930K and the 3820 should also perform similarly on single threaded tasks. I'm perfectly willing to spend extra for the 3930K for the few times I'd want the extra multi-threaded...
I know that that's normally the case, but with the max turbo boost frequency of the two CPUs being so similar (3.8 vs 3.9), I figured that may play a role in balancing out the performance between the two despite the difference in base clock speed. Sadly, I haven't yet properly read up on turbo...
Noob-ish question, but is that last bit about single threaded performance accurate? Will the 3930K at 3.2Ghz be comparable to the 3820 at 3.6Ghz at every task? Going for the hex core model won't be a decrease in performance in any area?
Thankfully, the 510 isn't the G3. The proper successor to the X25-M will be the upcoming 320 series.

It's a pretty dick move to recruit a computer novice into running F@H units for you. Does he understand the ramifications of running his new iMac at 100% its entire life?
Specifically, did you explicitly state the following:
-it will cost him more in electricity every month
-if you run at...
