This is getting a lot of great reviews. Thought I would post a Link

The latest Phenom II chips are getting very good overclocks. The latest 3.2GHz quad core released yesterday is very cheap and over clocks well. I think people are getting close to 4Ghz with it on air. It won't beat the I7 chips from INtel but you can throw it in your Am2 boards with ease.

I picked up a 9750 last week. doesn't matter about the o/c, it was fairly cheap and will be going into a media pc, so the quad cores should help with encoding/decoding multiple video streams...

Jim, I would have suggested you go for the Phenom II chips in tri or quad over the older chip. THey are pretty cheap as well but built in 45nm with much bigger cache. All in all no matter what it is all over kill for most people.

I didn't have any problems with the previous version of OD, but got the new one and it seems to do fine, still has buggs though, like core temperatures on mine read -253 I wish !!

Send them your imput. It's actually a great group of people working on it and it actually is good besides some of the bugs after all. I think you should e-mail them and let them know your experiences.
