:Yepp: Trying XEN 4.1 here. At 2.6GHz I get around 1000MB/s thruput in winrar with both the 9600BE and the 9850BE. That is a little odd. As if they apply the linux tlb workaround no matter what stepping the CPU has.
Had the 9850BE with it's stock cooler in an GBT780G mobo with 4x1GB G.Skills 6400HK's. Configured it to warn me if the core temps get over 80°C, that was an anoying benchmarking at 2.8/2.2GHz 1.325/1.3V with all that noisy beeps.
I did not use thermal compound, just mounted a cleaned stock cooler, but i guess that will not bring temps in resonable regions if they are above 80°. Ocing that thing in an htpc will be tricky.
After the bench i had to clear the cmos to get the system bootup again.
