for those that run the X2 7750
do you have the bug that is present in non-phenom core X2's
looking for conformation.
my X2 3800+ had it
my X2 5000+ had it
my X2 7750 does not ...
my understanding is that the X2 7750 is really a quad core with two bad cores shut down. which may explain why the bug isnt present.
Each of these parts are based on 65nm architecture, the processor has roughly 450 million transistors. The processors are manufactured in AMD's Dresden plant and make use of AMD's 65nm SOI-fabrication.

this confirms its a Quad Core with 2 cores shut down.

i would suggest all non-phenom X2's owners to upgrade if they have the means.
newegg has it on sale for 59.99 with free shipping. should fit on most AM2+ boards with a bios update. the level 3 cache with the ability to use the second core without the bug should improve play and other functions on your computer
plus it OC's to 3.3ghz-3.6ghz on air.
