ehm... Imac 27" i7 is a Hyperthreaded Quad core. Not a dual core. That's only in the macbook pro's...

edit: I was wondering what my I5 scored at, and it is similar. I'm on page 19... :)

I thought that the difference between the two sound cards was significant enough I should repost. No hardware changes except the soundcard. As you can see the M-Audio card makes a big difference. It's nice having the inputs too.
