And BTW, I just ran two Core2 Extreme brand strings against my algorithm:

Intel(R) Core(TM)2 Extreme CPU X9650 @ 3.00GHz
Intel(R) Core(tm)2 Extreme CPU Q6850 @ 3.00GHz
->
Intel Core2 X9650
Intel Core2 Q6850

Which I hope will be acceptable to you.

While I welcome that change in general (as it makes the whole thing a lot easier), why removing the "Extreme" in the first place?

Mainly cosmetic reasons for display in Pulse, I wanted to achieve a somewhat common maximum length. Leaving the "Extreme" in is no problem and a change of 5 seconds. But personally I'd rather preserve the CPU identifier (X9650 etc.) than the Extreme moniker. Of course this could be solved any which way, if this change would be approved. As long as my own Core2 gets parsed properly I don't care at all. :)
