Yup that sounds a better thing to do.

What do you all expect AMD to do from a part that hasn't officially launched yet? There are enough people who can be trusted that showed up at the event and saw everything with their own eyes. I believe that more than what I just described above.

Of course LOL! Even more of the Press, Webmasters and etc..... were at the First Conroe event. Yet, some of the same folks who say trust now, said Don't trust then. Same old double standards.

I believe the LN extreme overclocks because I know someone who at 8 only one of those reach 4GHz. The average is not 3.7 to 4.2GHz, they're say 3.4 to 3.8GHz (Bud's test 8 and one did 4GHz). Still a very nice improvement over Phenom 1. You'll not have to burn a IMC to get those speeds either :wink:
