Wow... 3.4ghz stock.
I know very little about overclocking, but this thing should be able to hit 4 ghz+ without any problems right? |

With this new revision, air cooling to 4GHz shouldn't be a problem at all.

That's what I want! Basically it's the same chip as the 965, just undervolted a little and downclocked, but most importantly cheaper!
Provantage has about two thousand x4 965 C3's right now. http://www.provantage.com/amd-hdz965...x~7AAMD2AT.htm This is interesting: http://www.provantage.com/amd-hdz955...x~7AAMD2CF.htm <-- A "new" x4 955? It's 125w. |

So according to that roadmap, the Thuban processor will not have a DDR2 memory controller built in? Interesting... Same with the newer Athlon II series.
And from what I've heard, AM3r2 is kinda like an AM3+, and that they should be backwards compatible to AM3. Although, they definitely won't work in AM2+/AM2 boards. Also, I wonder if AM3 chips will work in AM3r2 boards? I used an Athlon x2 4000+ for a while in my AM2+ 790FX/sb600 board and it worked great! |

I'm still unimpressed. It's only marginally better. Better is good, but this isn't worth buying if you already have a 955 or 965. A new stepping certainly isn't news worthy.

I didn't buy into it either. I certainly wouldn't have looked to buy a D0 if I already had a C1 like so many did. It was just an incremental upgrade as well.
The only exception in either case might be if you got a really crappy clocker.

Well, Im in a Rut now, thinking of the BE 955 or this Revison as a major upgrade over my current setup, That or wait for the Athlon X4s to have 1MB L2 per Core.
