Didn't seem to me like you were joking at all.
1 second is a whipping in superPi, thats a lot.
Go ahead and try 3.8ghz, I bet you'll be around 14.4-14.5 seconds. Wolfdale core architecture is better/faster than Kentsfield. The cache only makes up the difference. So now that I thought about it a bit more, even at 3.9ghz you may not catch him.
If you won't do 3.8ghz, than Linkin you should do 3.5ghz.
There's no thread jack, the OP's questions have all been answered.
