Also, the Phenom II is coming soon. This was a neat article I found where they managed to overclock it to 5.0GHz with Liquid Nitrogen. http://www.legitreviews.com/article/836/1/
I looked around a little bit more and found out its been overclocked to 6.3GHz while still being stable.

Stable while the liquid helium lasted?
On another note, I upgraded my system a bit! I'll probably purchase it tomorrow, unless you protest.
