ES board with early BIOS not tweaked for top performance. Shows some improvements mainly in synthetics which don't translate to as much improvment to most real apps. If they can kick it up to 5%+ in real-world apps (SPi is not realworld sorry benchmonkies ) it might be worth considering along with a Penryn upgrade, but unless there is a lot of tweaking left in the BIOS I'm not concerned about replacing my P35 for those differences.
