Oblivion maxed out :-) I have posted about it recently. There's not much point if you have good 939 system but as I had to change sockets anyway I thought I should wait for AM2. Also allowed me to jump on the DDR2 bandwagon. It’s running VERY well in terms of performance. Oblivion maxed out :-) I have posted about it recently.

I am however intrested in the system ur running with this new chip and how well it goes? im currently running since january, apart from the graphics which I up upgraded from 7800GT 256mb 2 weeks ago...

I was going to order from these guys, but I was put off by their shocking customer reviews on ciao (which incidentally, is the first time i've ever found ciao usefull). http://www.ciao.co.uk/Reviews/lowestonweb_com__5645316 Please let me know as I also have been searching high and low for a 4000 x2.
