I was just wondering where I should purchase my 2100+ xp from? It seems most people get it from newegg.com. But what about excaliberpc.com and pcnut.com??? these two guarantee the aiuhb stepping. Has anyone lately bought a 2100+ from newegg that wasn't that stepping or anything? let me know.

Newegg did not mention stepping, but almostly is able to do stepping. Newegg Customer Service is the best in e-tailer business industry.

i'm personally going to get mine from excaliberpc.com. they are at least as good as newegg, customer service wise, and they let you choose what week you get.

ouch! :D well, i've never had a problem with them, and they have a perfect 10 on reseller ratings (albeit with only 20 reviews).

I have noticed you have been asking around here for what week people are using. Have you come to a conclusion to which one you found to be the best?

from what i've seen, 0302 seems to be the most promising. YMMV, of course, but the 0302 chips seem to have a ceiling that is about 50 or 75 more mHz higher.

i dont think that they are going to raise the price of a chip thats been out for almost a year. dont take out your frustration out on me man.... i noticed your chip is at 2170.
If you look at the big picture, the cost to mass produce the chip for AMD is relatively small. Plus AMD expects to "write off" a certain percentage of sales of it's chips. Also I doubt they will give a rat's ass if one person returns a chip that is not defective, so choose your words carefully next time.
