Default i950 vs i960 vs w3540 vs w3550
Picking one of these up for the small amount of time before gulfie

The 920 I have just doesnt like high bclk (or my board doesnt) . Wprimes 1024m at 5ghz all day, locks up like crazy anything over 5.15ghz ht off even in slow mode.

Any thoughts? They all are around the same price, will be using the x23 multi on all of them (evens are garbage) And will be buying new off the egg, I like to roll the dice

Go with the w3540, it looks like its worth the most boints
http://hwbot.org/hardware/processor/xeon_w3540

second place would be 960
http://hwbot.org/hardware/processor/core_i7_960

both seem to top out at 5.6-5.7ghz
