Phenom 9500 w/ MSI K9A2 Platinum

E7200: never knew, thanks for the added data.

What data? Here is the review. Here a translation.
I wonder if i should try an E7250(Socket 478) in an very old barebone.

Review is just for the sake of seeing Barcelona numbers, since it's not a fair comparison. My main intention was to make those benchmark files known here, so we can use them and compare.

Hmm even if there are no options in the bios it should be easy to modify the tlb-workaround patch in a way that he also modifies the p-states for 1.8GHz.
I wonder why there is still no CnQ support in the 2.6.24 kernel looking at how p-states are implemented it can not be so difficult to modify the k8 module to work with k10's. AMD must be really short in resources.

Here is a Link to an article about their latest released benchmark suite.

They added SpecViewPerf9 and IOzone.

I tried to install ubuntu last week but it did not let me reisze my hd. Was short in time and will be then next three weeks, till i finished that typo3 page. Wanted to test compiz and hd2600 support and give you a short howto, but it might take a while.
I run compiz and fglrx on debian lenny on M2A-VM oboard gfx. That setup also worked fine and accelerated on the M3A with the HD2600XT. I can place that hd in the dfi/phenom setup, check if it works and send you the configs, in case you wanna try debian instead of ubuntu.

Sorry, I don't have a WD Raptor here. The two I had degraded and then died inside 2 months [heavy use], and when the 3rd died 21 days after so now I have a big cautionary dislike of them [data loss ], so I tend to stay away.
Why is it you ask? If its something let me know, I may be able to pick some up just for testing.

Got mine back from RMA and the replacement died on the second day.

Also two wd 500GB RE2 discs died last week here, one has a smart error after three days of normal usage the other felt down ~50cm and makes noises now. I'll RMA all three without feeling guilty. Was asking because with plugged of cdrom the disc is the only difference in testings. WD GP's look really good power consumption wise (http://techreport.com/articles.x/13379/14), did previous testings with two WD500RE2's in raid0 but i can not keep those for a longer time, so i'm looking for an suitable hd for the test setup atm, i might endup with an fast pata hd. Seems to be the robustest solution and not that bad in terms of performance.
