Is it going in your M2n32? if so just make sure your Board can handle it.


I too have a M2N32-SLi Deluxe........ But with my 5000+ Black edition



For my 9850 Black Edition I use A Gigabyte ( In Sig_)

Neither.


If you're willing to wait till Christmas, then just wait a tad longer and pick up a 45nm Phenom.

Or if they cost too much, you'll be able to get a 9950 for significantly less money.

That is a massive overclock for a Phenom. Especially on the SB600.

And I'm pleased to see it is on the same board that I have.
