    620 va 720

    Which do you think? They are 20 USD difference. The 720 is a black addition and might unlock the 4th core. I will be doing some video encoding and gaming.
    I will be doing some work with audio files but nothing hardcore.

    Just found a local seller with a 720BE for 80.00 so I think I'm going with that.
    I have a Biostar board so hopefully the 4th core will unlock.

    Now there is a 920 for the same price. I am thinking about staying with the 720 for the unlocked multiplier. What do you think?

    As I've mentioned to many others, I'd go for the CPU in my sig, the 550BE. Even though it's a dual core, if your board can unlock the other two cores and overclock, that's the best value. I'm running at 3.6GHz with mine, and very happy.
    AMD Phenom II X2 550BE@X4 (4cores unlocked) 3.82GHz (1.456V); Zalman CNPS 10X Quiet; 4Gb Kingston DDR2-800; 2x4850 512MB Crossfired
