I'd consider buying that, if they'd overclock into the 4.5GHz area almost guaranteed
this might be a catch 22 though,

if you have 4 threads on 2 modules, you get 10% less perf, but you might get 15% better power savings compared to having 4 threads on 4 modules. that extra power savings turning into higher clocks and might get you 10% faster speeds, resulting in the same exact performance in the end.

so the question will be, does 4ghz on the FX-8110 equal 4.4ghz on the FX-4110, and which one will consume more power when running 4 threads
