Yeah, CPU is due to arrive today, so I'm anxious. Should be here within the next 2 hours.

It bares mentioning that he already has the CPU in and is giggling like a schoolgirl in instant messages to me over the improvements. He will post results here soon I am sure.

I surprisingly got all testing done today. I'm going to probably reformat tomorrow then start to compose the review as a whole. Saturday is college orientation day for me, so I'm thinking it should be up by about Sunday or Monday.

 Can't wait to see some results  edit: I'm doing a similar transition soon from Phenom to Phenom II but I'm just too lazy to do something like this

 . I just somehow got motivation to do it. I have to say, I'm gonna try the stock heatsink later because this thing is running pretty warm.

I want to see! It would be nice to see the x3 720 in there as well, but one step at a time.
EDIT: Scratch the 720, for some reason I thought you were doing the x2 550.

Its easy to test an X3 720; just run the X4 940 with hard-coded three cores. That is, open MSconfig, tell it to only use three cores, and reboot. Check the performance tab and confirm that there are only thee cores. It may not be perfect (due to differential caches) but it is close.
