Great, did they fix the bug that doesn't allow RAM to run at 1066?

I know it's no big difference, but I bought some overclocked RAM that came with a fan and all. Turned out the Phenom freaks out if you try and overclock the RAM. Stupid me, shoulda done some homework.

2 - Im sure most cpu's can
WHEN USING LIQUID NITROGEN.

I mean come on. Lets try something more practical to the average gamer. Like watercooling or good air cooling. Im not gonna fool with liquid nitrogen and neither is 99% of the gaming community. I remember they did a q6600 with liquid nitrogen and got it to 5ghz.

3.1 - At a huge cost.
I would rather pay alot less for a phenom X4 9950, (which can handle alot) then a Intel core i7. Yes the intel core i7 is impressive but not worth the price tag. Esspecially if you want to build a gaming rig. I would deff go with AMD and a ATI card, since they go well with bios. But this of course is my opinion.

Of course not. This article is just fans of processors pushing the limits of processors. Did that make sense?

Pushing the limits of human engineering happens everywhere - enthusiasts are no different. I hope this new Phenom pushes AMD back into direct competition with Intel. In the end, we all win.
