OS Xbox Pro Factual Errors:

   It was brought to my attention that I made a mistake regarding the comparison of the OS Xbox Pro’s processor to that of the Mac Pro systems. It turns out the entry level (single) quad core Xeon found in the Mac Pro are “Nehalem” based processors, which are basically i7′s, and considerably more powerful that the Q9550s my system is currently running. And also, for the record, the Q9550s is 2.83ghz – I merely overclocked it a bit as that number is a closer match to the 2.93ghz Xeon.
