Anyone from the UK got a price for me?

I hope he'll get an MSI, as others have problems with BIOS @ 650 and higher... Have been trying to keep up with which one has or hasn't fixed theirs yet and well the 6167 still beats them with features/performance. They claim to run at said speeds but NOOOO they don't!, not reliably! On any prospective MB pay atten to the bios file dates/revision first!

Joe, I could have saved you sooo much money...
