Phenom CPU's price to be lowered to the levels of the A64 6400 black edition?

"Yes, according to german site Planet3DNow.de, in a move that shocks no-one, the AMD channel has spamazed customers with an email stating that they will be able to purchase from them Phenom CPUs at the cost of current dual-core CPUs. Black Edition 9500, 9600 and 9700(?) will also become available. The feeding frenzy starts effective today, let’s just hope resellers pass on the savings to the consumers."
 
As i mentioned in another post you can get a phenom 9500 for £123 online, very tempting.

Just a quick question: You know then phenom chips have a bug, is it only when you overclock? For example it says it can cause system lock ups, and to stop this you need a bios fix. If i dont overclock do i still need this bios fix?

The Phenom bug is a very rare thing even at the worst of times and will only crop up under sustained loading for extended periods of time/hardcore virtualisation.

And as very few individuals play Orthos or use virtualisation beyond the server market, the chances are that you will never, ever notice it.

Cool nice to hear :D
So would you reccommend not to install the bios fix?
