Just for fun, I took the Dual 533 processor out of the Digital Audio and fitted it in the QuickSilver (making sure to disconnect the QS CPU 12v Rail, not needed for the DA chip) which normally has an overclocked 733MHz Single at 800MHz. I'm surprised at how well it crunches, cutting through 320 and 480p YouTube Flash video with ease and generally just being awesome.
If it was a Dual 700 or something I could see that chip really taking that QuickSilver to new levels.
What surprises me is the speed of some of the MDD Dual processors, up to 1160 in Geekbench at 1.42GHz (and that doesn't count any RAM, HD or video upgrades). We have a couple of dead MDD's at work, if any of those were to become available for the taking...
