Sorry had a car crash approx. 7 hours ago and just got out of hospital. I don't have a PC with me so BIOS/BE OC results will have to wait until I can get back home (a few hours off) after I can get a car now. Was borrowing a friends and got hit by a lorry on the highway/motorway which is a total wreck now. Gack, more payments!

Dave: BE is most attractive because you can change the CPU VID, NB VID, NB FID, CPU FID, which bypasses tons of problems we have when oc'ing a locked Phenom. The VIDs are especially very good for theoretically higher clocks.

Also, 9600 BE is in very low stocks througout the world. Retail availability is going to be low for this month. I'm telling you this in advance.
