Re: MPB buildin a dispenser
To throw another monkey in your wrenches (or... something like that): http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/...0,2433-14.html
In short, the difference in terms of real performance between the 1366's full x16/x16 lanes and the 1156's 8x/8x arrangement is almost nothing; the cards just don't saturate the PCIe bandwidth (the major concern with fewer lanes).
As for the six-core processors, they're a gimmick; unless you routinely use heavily multi-threaded applications, they give you no benefit and with apps that aren't built to handle that many threads the additional cache latency really ends up hurting performance. Triple-channel memory has little real-world benefit, and the extra memory will be largely wasted unless you're into some seriously heavy computing.
Unless you're made of cash, I would highly suggest the 1156 platform (for cost, heat, power consumption and performance). Neither of them are very difficult to O/C at all: good chips, good cooling and a good PSU are far more important than one over the other, and will see you right in your goals.

Re: MPB buildin a dispenser
Good find. My guess is that this would only come into play at very high clocks (4.0GHz+), but I have not tested it so I can not say for sure. In the end if you can afford the 930 along with everything else you want I doubt you will be disappointed. If on the other hand you need that extra $$$ to upgrade another component don't be afraid of stepping down to the 860.
