.09 is the better chip. and the "weird u thing" is the symbol for micron which is to say the size of the manuf process, the smaller the better since the lower the micron the less heat

Neither If your going with (2) 6800GT why would you put that slow of a CPU on it?
Check arround but from the posts and benchmarks I read even a FX55 cannot come close to running them check out the Benchmarks for doom3 and HL2 at 1200X1600 the CPU is already the bottleneck some reviews state that the FX55 cannot run even the 6800GT much less 6800Ultra or ATI's X800 GPU to its fullest. Are you running (4) high res monitors for video editing? maybe full HDTV stream editing? If your going for that much editing or multitasking you will need 2 Gig of ram for sure. Look around, you maybe better off spending the extra $400 on a CPU upgrade.

For sure stick with th .09nm Winne. Its up to you I am very happy with my 3500+
If your going to OC Dough is right 3200+ seems to be the chip at this time.
