I'm with KTE regarding NB speeds.

No way of running NB above 9x on locked Phenoms...

I've played with this for a week or so some time ago and you can re-read Gigabyte DQ-6 thread where my results are. Theoretically higher NB speeds was yielding minimally better results from test apps, but that might be just due to slightly different timings set somewhere in BIOS or skewed RTC for NB settings over 9x.

Sorry guys! Time to buy Phenom BE (mine en route from warehouse )
