Seems I stand corrected. I did some Googlle research myself and saw
http://www.pcpro.co.uk/?http://www.pcpro.co.uk/news/news_story.php?id=59918.
I quote:

'With its newly announced 'Nocona' Xeon processors - which clock 
speeds ranging from 2.8 to 3.6GHz - Intel brings 64-bit memory 
addressing to its 32-bit server processor. The aim is to provide 
greater support for the high-level number crunching tasks of the 
workstation market.'

So I guess the question becomes do FC kernels have support for
this chip yet?
