I was talking about the one review which has 33 pages, dont remember the address but perhaps you know. There seems to be very small performance gain to 9950 .. the positive thing is the OC capability yes.

Im not very sure is it ok to spend 300 euros for .. lets say 400MHz gain?

Btw does this board has 3x 16x slots? I can only get 8x from the middle one, below from the primary one. Can it give 16x with some tweaking?
