    ok, im not gonna lie, i kinda semi-double-posted, cuz i remembered this is the forum that had the press release about this situation (also in Hardware forum, admin may delete or move)
    If i found a reseller selling it at a decent price, 3500 with the Q6700 and its covered by warranty, since they're using the new lower wattage ones, is it not a bad idea to get?

    Do they? I'll have to check their website. I didn't know they were offering the D901C atm.

    I would like to know if a bios updat is needed or not. If somoene does buy one of these please let us know your BIOS # so that we can compare them.

    Thanks!

    Depends on what your doing with it. :) Editing etc will see a marked increase. New games like Crysis will also benefit from it. And users of SLI will benefit from it.
