Wildside lives in Cali where they have 7.75% tax?

So its the tax that's costing him the extra ten~fifteen dollars or so.

Actually, it was your $350 that confused me, then I realized you lived in Canada, lol.

Yeah I m giving it to my brother. Since he has a X2 4600+ which can't over clock farther then 2.6ghz.

With my help he'll have it @3Ghz 24/7

I wish I had a brother to give me a 7750. Lucky guy.

Me too...

Tell me how far you get with an x2 4600+ if you try to OC it.. because I'm not getting much headroom

It didn't go too far. It hit like 2.7~ wouldn't even boot at 2.8ghz. Even at 2.58ghz it crashes from time to time.

Vernong, I remember when the X2 4600+ was the most powerful chip my house.

AMD Phenom II X4 920 and 940 review test

I think people should be at the very least quite satisfied with its performance. That is, if you're looking at it objectively, and haven't decided you are going out of your way to prove everything from AMD sucks.
