I think it would be interesting to see some benchmarks versus Psystar machines.

Just upgraded my 1st Gen mac today with original dual core Xeon 5130 processors to X5355. Happy to see Keekbench scores jump from about 4000 to 8705. Have 8gb ram + Nvidea 8800 gt 512 mbs

Cool to see it rates as good as some 8 core harpertowns!

Thanks for posting the GeekBench scores in one place. I was choosing between an older 2007 machine and a brand new 2009 (with much smaller specs), and this post made me decide in favor of the newer machine, even though it can’t hold as much RAM as my older one.

I sure wish they could be compared to at least one Windows-based computer so I can see if the Mac Pro has any edge whatsoever over a computer that costs half as much. I keep hearing about the mythical stats of low-cost high-powered Windows computers that run rings around the Mac Pro.
