There is but X3 only so far.X4 got but BE Edition.
Evil depends on what usage but if multi tasking performance =Phenom 9550
Since NO ONE know the OC ability,Phenom has better features though but you know Quad core does not ultilises all the core when gaming.
Overall :
AMD 5000 BE :Good on Overclock,Normal Features if compare to AMD Phenom,Performances lose if Multitasking,Better gaming than using Quad Core
AMD Phenom 9550 :Unknown Overclock Potentional,Great Features and better than 5000 BE,Performance much more better if multi tasking,On Par/Loses performance on Gaming
So now pick your choice.
yeah..5K BE i good for Overclockers..but since u're using DK i would suggest u to go on phenom..otherwise u won't actually utilize DK performance..it meant for phenom actually..
Like bro AMDAthlon said..Phenom 9550 is build for multitasking but i doubt on how it actually handle it..since i still can't find any review on OC ability..but still another doubt it won't pass 3.0Ghz Oc'ing..
but still u got another option on X3..it worth an upgrade for X2..with extra core added it won't bottleneck ur gaming performance..and for sure it can pass 3.0Ghz oc'ing..someone have done it with same board as yours..

BTW i'm selling my X3 if u're interested..hehe...
