AMD that I can't look up the number for

[NegitiveSinX]

So I was looking for a AM2 Athlon x2 4000.
On amazon this guy was telling me that he had one and I bought it for 130, which is the same price as the 3800, but it was open box.

So I got this in the mail instead:http://i75.photobucket.com/albums/i289/marvin6277/CHIP.jpg

don't what a ZDA2600 is because no sites list the AMD serials that begin with ZDA.
Although it's cool that it's an Engineering sample, I would still like to know some more info.

Does anyone have any other kind of websites or something where I can find out about this chip until I can afford to buy a board?

IAA6CS seems to correspond to 2MB X2 chips.

ZDA is presumably used for engineering samples to separate them from ADA (normal Athlon 64, Athlon 64 X2, Athlon 64 FX) or SDA (Sempron).

I is for Socket AM2. AA apparently indicates "variable" temperature ratings. 6 means 2x 1 MB L2 cache. CS appears to be used only for Athlon64 X2 and Athlon 64 FX dual-core parts.

2600 would normally indicate a 2600+, but AFAIK there are no 2600+ parts (even Semprons) on Socket AM2. There are some 2.6 GHz parts, such as the Athlon 64 X2 5200+ (which has 2x 1 MB of L2 cache).
