Well thats a good deal.
I did the same thing too. When I built my mom's PC I ordered a Phenom II 550, but ended up giving her my 710 instead . I'm a gamer so the higher core clock helped me, plus I lucked out being able to unlock to a quad too.
For now on I have a new currency, they have to pay me in computer parts
I am looking at a new mobo now so I can try and unlock my 4th core. Plus I really need/wont an ATX my 4850 covers almost ever PCI slot on this MATX mobo. I can't install any kind of add on card.
