[QUOTE="flopsy, post: 1524389, member: 304113"] Thanks - I did google part of that link before, but I realised I tl'dr'd about a firmware hack and said 'urgh no' - it's not required on a 2010. I've read that thread in more depth and there does seem to be some heat issues with the 3.33 which needs to be cured by spooling the fans up and that won't work for me. In terms of a cost/benefit/compatibility ratio, would I be right in saying that two X5650's would be the best bet? What would that get me over the '10 8-core in real terms? [/QUOTE]
