Thinking about getting this:
http://cgi.ebay.com/New-Intel-Xeon [...] 23035f7574

Couple of Qs:
Do these work with any LGA1366 mobos?
Is it a good deal?
Do Xeons work the same as the regular i7 cpus?

They can, but you'd be paying too much. The i7 920 runs at the same speed and goes anywhere from $199 (at microcenter when on special) to about $299. Newegg was selling them for $279 last time I checked.
