    So, to sum up, Core i7-920 and Core i7-940 parts have:
    • Locked multipliers so you cannot exceed their rated top speed (without overclocking the base clock).
    • Locked Turbo Mode multipliers so you cannot make fine-grained adjustments to the Turbo Mode features.
    • Have unlocked QPI speeds but are officially rated for 4.8GT/s.
    • Have unlocked memory multipliers so you can select from 1066/1333/1600/1866 and up.

    Just if anyone is thinking of building, the 920 got more attractive as a cpu.
