Yes on AE. Not sure on PPro = with 690.

And please remind me, why choose i7 = over Xeon?

It's a = bang-for-buck, or as someone from the UK might say, "value for money" = thing.

Xeon's are the best, no denying = it.

If you want a dual CPU socket motherboard, = you have to go Xeon. You can build a machine with up to 16 cores/32 = virtual cores. (that's two CPUs with 8 cores = each)

But they are hella = expensive.

And they don't = overclock.

Or you could spend a whole lot = less and get an i7 which has but 6/12 cores, but DOES over clock, and = apply some of the savings towards a dedicated Global Performance Cache = SSD, more RAM, liquid cooling for the CPU, fast video RAID and get = performance approaching 90% of the Xeon monster for about 45-50 percent = of the box price. (or less).

90 percent of the = performance for 50 percent of the price sounds like a heck of a good = deal to = me.
