Well, the OP is not really hurting for a new system, just likes to get new hardware, so that advice won't work. I'm sure you'll get some nice numbers w/ nehalem energy, and I'll be watching your and other's scores to see what's up. You shouldn't have anything to worry about w/ apps, none of this tech is really brand new, just hasn't been implemented in quite this way. Plus intel has amd by the balls, it would be pretty foolish of them to release something on the market that doesn't work properly. The oc'ing of these things should be fun too, at least novel, what with the ability to clock individual cores and all.
I myself probably won't be getting nehalem until I can get 4gb of ddr3 for about $150 or less, and a good mb that has all I need for about the same. I may be waiting a while, perhaps until the die shrink. There's too many other additions I wanna make to my pc before a new proc becomes needed (new case and fans, tv tuner, sound card, more hdds). I have decided my first quad will most certainly be a nehalem or amd's answer if they have one. These things are looking like they make current quads look silly (in multi-threading that is of course).
