What a coincidence, I went from a 9850 to a 955 as well, the difference is amazing. As much as I love AMD, I'll be the first to admit the first phenom series were well, not so wonderful.
Hope you enjoy it, and the increase in fps

I would make a joke about how no AMD fanboy would even try calling Phenom I a success but then I remembered AMDZone

The last Phenom I, the 9950 125w was actually an okayish chip. I actually preferred it over my Q6600 because it had an IMC.
That last revision actually OC'ed fiarly well too.
Still, Phenom II is LIGHT YEARS ahead of it.

The 9850BE and 9950BE were moderate successes.
The 8750BE also had it's fans.
The B2 stepping fiasco hurt AMD's reputation pretty badly though

If you calling OC to 3.2ghz on air as fairly well, then the 9950 was GREAT SUCCESS!!!!!:
The thing held back my 280 SLI terribly, wait, it even held back a single 280. By far the most disappointing chip I have ever owned
this is said with all due respect
