Well I have just placed an order at scan for one 1055T hex core CPU.
At the moment I had migrated to a MSI 890GX motherboard, 550BE and 4GB DDR3 (1333 6-6-6-20).
This was a test platform to test if I needed a black edition CPU. Well I am happy to report that the board will exceed 300Mhz HTT so I went ahead with the 1055T.
I also have an HD5850 on the way and I will likely replace my HD 5830 rather than crossfire with it, even though it clocks to 1110/1400 (1050/1350 24/7).
