If you can wait a week though, I hear rumors of a Phenom II 965 BE in the works clocked at 3.4Ghz. There is a chance that the 955 will be lowered in price and the 965 take the price of the current 955. But then again they could just charge more for the 965... You could potentially gain a 'free' 200mhz or save a few bucks on the 955.

Even if the 965 is not priced at the current 955's price, you dont loose much from hanging on for a few more days... Heck you could spend a little bit more and just pick up the 965 then if you wanted... Either way you win (or you dont lose anything). IMO its worth waiting for.

AMD Phenom II X4 965 in the pipeline
