AMD Phenom II Review Thread

[demonkevy666]

thanks for the link shintai. really a lot of people are being fanboys about the whole ddr2 ddr3 thing. ddr3 really doesn't have that big of an advantage over ddr2. it gives some extra performance but it doesn't equate to much. sure ddr3 will be nice whenever it drops in price but right now i find it as pointless. i hope next month when there are am3 phenoms out you guys will just drop this because im not seeing that huge of a gain from ddr3. phenom II am2+ supports ddr2 1066 while the am3 ones will support ddr3 1333. ill give it 1% performance bonus max. remember the timings are going to go up as well when with ddr2 800 and 1066 the timings are typically the same.

all the AM3 boards I see they'll at HT3.0 and 3.1 isn't comming out till what march ?
I hope Am3 chips have higher NB support. I've gotten mine up to 2,730mhz any higher and it won't post.
I can set my HT to 2.6ghz and Nb to 2.6ghz and at 1.350 volts for nb.
