Ok - I have a odd question. I ran the processor utility from Intel and it states that its (my x9000) a ES (engineering sample). Is this normal for the x9000?

EDIT: I just read, the following: http://www.intel.com/support/process.../CS-001616.htm

"To determine if a processor is an engineering sample, refer to the processor markings. The Q-spec (a four-digit or five-digit code) will begin with the letter 'Q' instead of the standard letter 'S' which is used for production processors. Engineering Sample processors may also have the words ES located after the Q-spec or the words INTEL CONFIDENTIAL marked on them."


Well in that case, I remembered it having a "S" not a "Q" so I think I am safe (that is if my memory is not faulty)
