These early BIOSes will probably get better, and it will hopefully take SR-2 to BCLK210+ soon. But until then a retail X5660 (with x21 multi) should be a better option than X5650 (with x20) for getting the potential OC out of these CPUs.
I am with you on that suggestion and the X5660 is only about 300-400 dolars more a pair vs the X5650 depending on were you buy them. I am waiting for my case (and that AX1200 to be released) to get here so I can start to put this thing together. I am just impressed on what those X5650's can do so these 5660's should run just as good I hope.
