Such high clocks, CPU and RAM, yet your everest memory bench is terrible, why is that?

Huh, can you explain?

Settings were 7-7-7-20 @ 800MHz for the 655k. With an 860 running at slower cpu clock and 7-7-7-20 @ 700MHz I can hit double the bandwidth of the 655k. Seems to me like the memory might be bottlenecked by the 655k. Maybe it's like this with Clarkdale.

Hope a new BIOS helps. Thanks for the review.

Better but still not impressed with the Clarkdale RAM results. It's like the dual channel really doesn't seem to be doing much. I'm wondering if you took one stick out and ran single channel if the RAM bench results would be fairly close to the dual channel results.

Lynfield seems to do much better with the RAM, maybe they'll give you an 875k to compare.

Nice review, and great pics.
