I hope you're happy with your i920. Does it tuck you in at night? Have a glass of Kool Aid on me.

Seems like the better deal is to get the Phenom II X3 and unlock the forth core.

Soo connected to an AM2+ this uses 30 more watts?

Is this faster than a Phenom 9950 black edition? I'd guess it would be since clock is the same and has more cache?
