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?

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).
