it depends. BIOS can control the MSRs in CPU to control some parameters, such as enabling/disabling prefetchers, caching and etc. Besides, it also configures thing like memory timing. As we know, memory can affect greatly in certain high BW demanding apps.

it's delayed again. nothin unusual.
QUOTE The new revision should be fine We learned that Barcelona, the mighty K10 will be delayed to Q4. The current revision needs an update and this respin will delay Barcelona from an expected launch in Q3 summer time to Q4. Some Agena CPUs might be launched at the same time, but most of the real desktop K10 CPUs will be pushed into early 2008. This will certainly upset AMD's shareholders, but AMD had to delay it as the B0 core had a few bugs including the one that keeps AMD from clocking the CPU at very high frequencies. source:http://www.fudzilla.com/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=1507&Itemid=35 |

i wont give it a damn if this source is from inquirer or fudzilla. this site is reliable and base on this timeframe, we will probably see barcelona out on schedule as well
 . *usually will be 60-90 days after the server variant, the desktop version will b released. so it will b around mid august for Barcelona showdown  wanna get a new intel core machine 1, but with this news, it makes me think twice b4 purchasing it. may just sit and wait for the numbers b4 getting a Core machine . |

Good to wait but the price is going to be expensive when it first comes out.
No no. I'm not going to wait anymore. Going to get a proc within these few months..... |

RM280 to b exact, 1USD = 3.5RM. but i believe it will b higher in malaysia, around RM350. the one thing is, how OClockable will this board is? if it can hit >400HT, then it really will make a serious buy for me.  |

DFI ultra M-II is one good example, but it is not AM2+  . i love the split power plane, hope DFI can release a AM2+ ultra M-II version |
