absolutely amazing. if this is any indication what an am3 945 can do. i'm definitely going to get it when i have the money. i can get my 940 up to 3.8Ghz, but it's not stable at all at vcore of 1.5. i'm looking for deals on the TRUE as well to cool my 940 now and an am3 945 later on. thanks again for sharing chew. i wish you could install all ddr2 slot for a total of 8gigs of memory. just curious, do you have to send this chip back to AMD? i wish i can get an ES chip .
