I'll just add that with a Phenom II 940 there's no reason you need to up the voltage for 3.4 GHz clock. You should be able to have it at 3.4 on stock voltage (1.35 V). That's all I've read anywhere and that's what I usually have my PII 940 on with no issues. Just thought I'd add that in...

Ha well just to clarify, my dilemma wasn't so much an issue of waiting. Is coming home with a bag full of computer hardware tonight instead of mid January nice...well, yeah! But I really was trying to figure out what the better fit was for me. For one, I would've ended up paying at least $100...

I just picked up a 950 at microcenter for $199. Price was too good. They are flying off the shelves. Just dropped $650 on a processor, mobo, and memory...geez. Still better than spending 300 on the 950 or over 300 on sandy bridge. So screw sandy bridge I've got my i7 950! The switch from AMD to...

Lower power is good as long as it doesnt mean it's not as beefy :-)
