Hmmm...I guess we'll have to see what happens in the wild. We don't know exactly what was in the poster's machine, and maybe it had a smaller power supply and the poster didn't pay attention to the power requirements, also, maybe it was an early engineering sample since it's not officially available...there could be many reasons. Maybe keeping this report in the back of ones mind would be a good idea, but can't really make claims of the 'drop in replacement' being doubtful until something more is heard. I would have to believe that HP, DELL, SUN all have real parts and something would have leaked if the drop in replacement claim is extraordinarily restrictive until real people get the production part in their hands and try the replacement. AMD learned the sting of what happens when you cut off that avenue...look at the socket 939 to AM2 transition where they lost alot of customers. JMHOFWIW
