I wan't to upgrade my current Xeon E5345 to one that can emulate, mostly without slowdown. The X5470 runs at 3.33 GHz, but costs $45 per CPU, meaning total cost would be $90 dollars. Alternatively, the X5460 costs only $25 dollars. The only difference from the X5470 is that it runs at 3.16 GHz. So my question is, should I pay $90 dollars for 3.3 GHz, or should I opt for the cheaper route, at 3.16 GHz?

Unfortunately, OCing is not an option. My budget is somewhat limited, since I'll also be buying a $120 dollar graphics card for other games. I can ignore minor slowdown if it's like 90% in somewhat-intensive 3D games such as 007 From Russia With Love. For me, $40 dollars extra is a big difference, just for 170MHz more than the $50 dollar option. Really all I'm wondering is what will the performance be with a X5470 in games like the one said above, and will the performance be majorly different between that and the X5460.

With MTVU, I get around 65%-80%.
Is there any possible way to allow pcsx2 to use all 8 total cores?
