definitley the 960t. Its faster than the fx 4100 and can potentially be unlocked to a 6 core processor. getting opinions from actual owners is probably a bad idea, you will get biased opinions rather than facts, unless they own BOTH processors. just read reviews for unbiased, factual game benchmarks. It is widely known that the FX series has abysmal per-core performance, read some reviews.

Yup, 960T, plus its the same price as the 955 (enter in the promo code on newegg page)

But it should overclock as well as the 955 but if you get 2 extra cores, then its a bonus :)

If you are not overclocking then, the 960t is better than the 955 cause of its smaller power envelope (95w vs 125w)

Im not sure what AMD's move is here. Just to stuff everyone over who has bought a amd3 board. My Phenom II x4 955 has just crapped it self. And i now I also need a replacement.

Well you've seen AMD going all speedy gonzalez with smaller and smaller chips. Let's hope my 955 doesn't die aswell so I'm not forced to buy a FM1 mobo :/.
