Okay I have a 4850x2 which flies but is severely bottlenecked by my brisbane 5800 with a 5% OC. I have a gigabye ma-770-ud3 MB based on 700 southbridge and 770 NB. I am considering a Phenom II 940, or wait for 945. I won't be adding another GPU card, as my 650w PSU is already being tested, and I don't think a game will be out in the next 3 years that the 4850x2 can't at least mosey along in. I don't need any IGP, although I read something about hybrid systems, could I relegate Physx to IGP and have 4850x2 do everything else graphics related? The main quesiton though is if I do upgrade to PhenomII will I then be bottlenecked by my 770NB and 700SB motherboard, and what would be potential FPS gains of upgrading to 790 + 750? Thanks alot fellas.

With Phenom II go with 790 + 750 better OC, with AM3 you can go up to DDR3 2133 for OC at the Max on MSI motherboard price at $ 180.00 + shipping at NEWEGG.COM. New AM3 top dog CPU is going be Phenom II X4 955 BE at 3.2 it be out by Apr. 20.

when the cache sizes and architecture are all the same do the manufacturers just ship a overclocked version of the lower speed one?
