Is the whole thing a god idea? Thoughts?
I run a 940 and a 720 on this board and it is a nice combo. Board is solid and I got my 940 to 4.2ghz stock water kit. 3.9ghz 100% stable I was am running 4gig tho, haven't tried 8. I think it is a good idea, the Phenom II x4 955 BE is a better chip then the q6600. No matter how you slice it.
