How are these Xeons when it comes to oc'ing?
Do you lose any features dropping Xeons in lou of the Bloomfield 920/930 chips?
How do know which mb's support the Xeons?

And, When will we see the intel i7 930 chips, intels roadmap shows Jan.17th., (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intel_inluof_(microarchitecture.
I can find little info about this cpu googling. Does Intel follow these dates closely normally?

These chips seem alot alike, or am I missing something?

Thank you guys beforehand, I've been out of the loop.
Any advise would be helpful in planning this build.
