Great review, I wasn't clear on the drivers used though. However, I do like the idea of you using a motherboard other then a 790i or 780i
Edit: OK, I looked again and the drivers found in the Test Bed are clear!
W1z, is it possible to OC the E6550 to 3.6GHz and bench 2 games just to see if the CPU is holding the X2 and GX2 back?
