thanks evilone, i've updated the list with those.

nightmarex, your sig is too big, think 4 lines is the max allowed.

ocuk doesnt seem to have the Black Editioin, but they are on sale in america for sure, dunno about other uk stores, i guess we'll find out from Gibbo or someone later today about those.

looks like they are probably all black for 940's, a competitor definately has black. The 3.0ghz overclocks to around 3.9ghz a q6600 will overclock from 2.4ghz to around 3.6ghz so its safe to say the amd will be a lot worse than q6600 when you overclock them both.

foxeye, the q6600. But the q9400 is about same price as the AMD 920 so people should get those as they will be a lot faster.
