Well I'm FINALLY ordering today, BUT!
The Amd Phenom II 940 BE is out of stock!!! :mad: :mad:
But it's not all a loss, as the 955 is only $10 more, so I might as well go with that.
Problem is I have This motherboard.
The thing is, many people are saying that the 955 only clocks at like 1.2 or something!! Now people have flashed their BIOS and stuff like that but I don't want to do that unless it's a guaranteed fix and isn't to hard. Basically I only want that motherboard with the 955 if there is a guaranteed fix for it.
However I am willing to switch out parts.
I will stick with AMD and my RAM RAM

I would like to stick with the 955 too (No overclock for now, stock fan)
So should I keep with that board and find a fix for it, or do you guys have another that costs around the same much as the Gigabyte that works with my RAM and the 955?
Thanks guys you guys REALLY REALLY help me!
One more question..
How is This graphics card? Any problems or bad comments from you guys?



EDIT: How is this Asus Motherboard?

So should I just go with my motherboard and the 955?
 
It is reported as running at 1.2GHz for one of two reasons.

1. The CPU has downclocked itself at idle using Cool'n'Quiet.
2. The person hasn't updated their BIOS and the 955 is not recognized.

If you do need to update your BIOS, do it and do not buy a new motherboard. It's something you'll have to learn how to do at some point.

Here are some instructions: http://www.gigabyte.com.tw/Support/Motherboard/HowToReflashBIOS.aspx
 
Alright thanks it is an easy fix then right?
Well I postponed till today cause I was worried about the combo :)
