Sure, but as I mentioned: I have a problem believing that even the most potent model, the 5160 at 3.0GHz, will be able to run 64 players smoothly. Can you or anyone else confirm that such a CPU is capable of doing that at 66 ticks?
The way I see it: A 3.0 GHz Woodcrest is up to ~1.5 times faster than the previous generation. So comparable to a 4.5 GHz previous-generation Xeon. A 2.8GHz old Xeon can run about 20 players at 100 ticks one one CPU, so the 3.0GHz Woodcrest should do 4.5/2.8 * 20 = 32 players at 100 ticks. This is of course just a ballpark-estimate (and at 100ticks, not 66) but since 32 is so far from 64, it is also the reason why I am having problems imagining a non-overclocked Woodcrest performing at such levels.
