I have been trying to figure this one out for a while and now I have a deadline to meet with my hackintosh build.
Does it make any difference if I buy a Core i7 920 Nehalem or Bloomfield

Are they different? They're not the same for sure. What differences are you asking/wanting/looking for?

I7 920 are sold as either Nehalem or Bloomfield and there are more retail boxed Bloomfield's - so I don't want to end up buying a Bloomfield and find out it's not hackintosh compatible.
I need to kknow if I can buy either of them or just the Nehalem
