Kalniel: "Nice review Tarinder - would it be possible to get a picture of the case when the components are installed (with the side off obviously)?"
CAT-THE-FIFTH: "The Antec 300 is a case which has an understated and clean appearance which many people like. Not everyone is into e-peen looking computers which look like a cross between the imagination of a hyperactive 10 year old and a Frog."
TKPeters: "Off to AVForum better Deal - £20+Vat for Free Shipping @ Scan"
for all intents it seems to be the same card minus some gays name on it and a shielded cover ? with OEM added to it - GoNz0.
All Amd need to do is get the pricing right!
Looks like the clockspeeds have been leaked:

The 125W 1075T has a clockspeed of 3GHZ.
95W Hexa-core, puts to shame the rest of the Phenom range.

This thread is worth looking at:

It seems that the Turbo Mode on the X6 1055T is 3.3GHZ if the information is correct.

Turbo mode on an AMD? What?Originally Posted by CAT-THE-FIFTH
The newer Phenom II processors are meant to have some sort of Turbo Boost like technology:

Hmm, these chips just became a lot more viable...
Yup - sounds like I might be upgrading my HTPC too!
Or maybe not. We should see some very interesting benchmark results from these when they finally get released - anyone got any leaks on a date?
Supposedly they will be released on the 26th of April:

Here are some details about the Phenom II X6:
http://www.amdforum.se/content/258-p...-prissatt.html
The 3.2GHZ Phenom II X6 will have a Turbo Boost frequency of 3.6GHZ!
If this post is true then the Turbo Boost will on upto 4 core:

If upgrading to X6, wouldnt an AM2+ motherboard seriously compromise system performance? If budget allows better to go for new motherboard/cpu combo
Still waiting for them to support my am3 mobo!
Maybe you meant vice-versa? For the mobo to support the CPUs?
By the way, I'd also be interested whether an AM2+ mobo would be some kind of bottleneck?
That is going to depend on what you run on it.
I run a quad core atm, and I believe my workload fits nicely in L3 cache so I stuck with DDR2. I will be watching the X6 pricing very keenly, my wife could use my existing quad core chip as an upgrade
In some games DDR3 buys you a few percent improvement on the quad cores, so if DDR2 is already a penalty on quad core it isn't going to get any better with 6 cores!
