Another "Is it worth it upgrade" Question

As the 1055T and 1090T BEs have been out for a while, have a dumb, silly question(s).

Background: have a 980 MSI mobo with a 1055T in it that has been upgraded to 2 x 580GTXs for "future proofing" (meaning one last upgrade before the funds dry up). Also will be trying hard to water cool the puppy by summer.

So is it really worth the extra $100 or so difference to sell the 1055T and get the 1090T BE?? Haven't had the opportunity to OC the 1055 yet, but do like the ease of doing it with a BE. :rolleyes:

Realize a lot of this iis subjective but............is it? :confused:

    The question appears to be: Can my mother board handle a high fsb.
    If yes 1055t
    If no 1090t
    They clock the same, but the 1090t will help you get a higher clock on a lesser motherboard.

    I imagine your board should be capable of higher FSB, so saving a little money and going with the 1055 might be nice. I, personally, have only bought BE chips, so I have never been limited like that.
