First I was going to get a Q6600, until the new batches started getting really really really ty, and now you're telling me 45nm chips are looking iffy too?

I just might get a Phenom...
Phenom is even more iffy

45nm is a crapshoot whether or not you get a good clocker depending on board+chip combo....like I said previously the P5E VM HDMI and the X48's seem to be doing fine (varied success on actual X48's, as well as varied success on X38's, same goes for flashed Maximus---Rampages) The DFI boards, and 790i stuff seems to be clocking the best.
