According to CPU-Z, its an E0 stepping. On my ECS board, it wouldn't overclock reliably beyond 2.7GHz. I was pretty disappointed until I decided to try it in an Abit IS7. Instant rock solid 3.6GHz, and I was able to briefly get 3.8GHz. This is all with 100% stock cooling.
I ran some...
I got the chip today, and the sSpec doesn't appear on Intel's website. I am not making this up!

I wish it were that easy to tell, but unfortunately both steppings have the same OEM and box order codes.
I hope you're right! I'll post results when I get it on Fri.
The stepping is the revision of the processor. Later steppings are newer and more likely to reach a high overclock.
Was it a retail (boxed) processor, or OEM (cpu only)? And where did you buy it from?
Just ordered a boxed Celeron D 320 2.4GHz s478 from Newegg. I am anxious to know whether this will likely be C0 or D0 stepping. Has anyone bought a retail Cel D from there lately?
