The only thing im wondering is if that Foxconn and Anandtech are working out issues w/ the bios does that mean they are even in production yet? being as it was at first anticipated in late june, then early july, then late july, now early Aug, it's getting frustrating.

What we do know so far though is that the boards ARE doing well, and according to anandtech much better than expected. I was really glad to hear that B2 steppings are clocking very close to B3's so if this continues to pan out, not only will this be one he** of an update to the Phenom platform but a GREAT win for early adopters with B2's as well.

The downside is that we still lack a concrete date, early August is only as concrete as early July was. it's looking like the R700 and SB750 are going to lauch within a week of eachother. but if these boards are capable of OC's like we've seen from Anand the wait is going to be definatly worth it
