Nevermind, it's a B0 stepping....just found it over at intel's website.....ahhhhhhhhh. rf37

Thanks Tates for the info. rf37

well, I wouldn't mind overclocking it, but I've read alot of posts in regarding snds (sudden northwood death syndrom). Is it safe anymore? $238.00 is alot of money just to kill a processor. rf37
