All review systems that you've seen have utilized a BIOS patch to workaround the errata which does in fact impact performance.

B2 is the mask revision for higher speed parts. AMD will announce these in Q4 and ship for rev. either at the end of Dec. or Jan. these will be 2.5 and 2.6 parts.

So we will see a inproved preformace with reatail systems! Good to know I supose that dualcore K10 (Kuma?) will be B2 aswell? Just looked at asus Rd790 borad, looks nice but not "finished" Hope to see a Dual K10 borad from Dfi to, now THAT would rock! In the mean time I just have to play with my new 6400+, hopfully tomorow
