I love some bits of that article.
Other than water cooling and phase cooling who really cares about switching thier CPU heatsink when they uprgrade the CPU? For those who do have watercooling i doubt the extra money for the adapters or new waterblocks are going to be really soul destroying. I do like the implied increased maximum heatsink weight, the mount looks much, much, more stable than the 939 design, with a wider base that means there will be less worry with large heatsinks and the torque.
We can expect a small improvement in AM2 gaming performance over 939. The performance drop with 667 RAM in the sole gaming benchmark is rather small, and upping RAM speed from 333 to 400 results in a significant real world speed increase for 939, either way it will improve performance somewhat. Not to mention the higher clock speeds of the top end models.
