No I don't think you'll find such new Newcastles. They probably meant S939.

The real question is how much better is 46 than say 44 or 41?
These guys are sort of claiming it overclocks better but there is no standards in what that means. Anybody can shed some light on this?

[bacon]

no idea how much truth is in that they are better clockers but....i ahve noticed the newer they are the better they seem to be getting

[TEDY]

what is price ?

[sky]

and now the big question.. phasechange compatible?

/edit
price listed there is 125gbp which is about 178€, excluding vat - add another whopping 17.5% to the tally. yeeez, i could get a 0.09 3200+ (of unknown week, unless asked) for 182€ boxed here...
