also plz read this for improving Zambezi's efficiency.

All in all deneb and thuban are better choices than zambezi, however in some apps zambezi will be faster.And it overclocks to higher freq.
However going back to PHII is a bad idea, if you can sell your 8120, just get the cheapest vishera you can get, they are all unlocked.
My tests proved that it is overall faster than PHII, not by a huge amount in most apps, but in some there is nice gain.Or, if you want a really sizable upgrade, there is no denying it now, go intel :-(.
However Vishera with clocks higher than 4.0Ghz is a really nice performing chip its comparable to intels in Mt work, its gonna chew 2x the power tho.
