don't get me wrong a 3.4ghz clock on a phenom is kind of cool its nothing compared how Intel can OC...
Ummm, 3.4Ghz would be a fairly good OC on an Intel as well, quad anyways. Not every single C2Q reaches 4.5Ghz on 1.0v like you would suspect from reading threads in forums. I know my best friend would be very happy if he could get his Q6600 to 3.4 with any voltage. If the SB750 makes breaking 3Ghz fairly commonplace on Phenoms, then AMD suddenly jumps into a much much better position IMO. To the point even people who care about their ePeen's could at least glance at them.
I don't give a damn- most people can buy a GTX 260 or 9800GTX without any guilt over 10+% performance lost, which is the worst case scenarios on which Phenoms lag the Core 2 Quads. They normally don't, and they scale better with clock. Now that they OC enough impressively, all bets are off.

while that's good and all the real question is...why didn't they do that in the first place? don't they test their own architecture on their own chipsets and other venders chipsets before they're released? if I remember right there was another issue with the phenoms that regarded corruption of some kind. (although it was rare) if they spent enough time testing their product as Intel did they wouldn't of released them as how they are now.. and until they step up on their quality/fail safe crap I don't think they will be taking the throne back anytime soon ether...however.. don't get me wrong a 3.4ghz clock on a phenom is kind of cool its nothing compared how Intel can OC... this is funny amd and Intel are reversing roles the phenom is what the P4 was.. it kept having to increase its clock-speed to compete to the point of threshold for the architecture... and Intel is now sitting on the throne... hah... although a 3.4+ghz Phenom might compare to a core 2 quad @ 2.8-3.0 there is no such thing as a 3.4ghz Phenom that you can get off the shelf yet.. so in the long run this does nothing for amd besides make the people bitching about OCing shut up... hell on top of that the majority of people that run Phenom in brand name computers..i.e dell..gateway etc. don't even OC(if there's such thing as a dell/gateway that runs a Phenom but that's just case and point) maybe this here is a hint at what is to come out of the 45nm chips? a 4.0ghz Phenom might even give Nehalem a run for its money. (if its even possible) although a 65nm Phenom can run 3.4 to 3.5GHZ in the right hands, that's not a big jump if you look at it....so we shall wait and see,...

PCIE 1.1 FTL!!!!
You do know they aren't talking about the PCIe slots right?

However, we are still disappointed in the PCIe 1.1 interface to the 790FX/780G and upcoming new NB chipsets.
AMD is probably correct that there is plenty of bandwidth available with the current solution, but we cannot help but wonder why they did not include a PCIe 2.0 interface given the amount of time this chipset has been under development.
Why? I don't see the need for that much bandwidth yet. Do you have some ultra-GPU that we don't know about that requires it?PCIE 1.1 FTL!!!!

Ahh, the stats say PCIe 2.0 on the first page, then PCIe 1.1 on the last page. Guess the 1.1 is for the accessory slots?
I am still lost with
Ohwell, doesnt matter to me as I'm not in need of a new board.
