hey all
just wanted to know what speed grade cpu is likely to be the copper... and whats the overclockbility of say 850-900 ???

950 and up will be copper. Some 750s are copper too, they are selling them on pcnut

My slot A 900 has a blue chip so if the rumors are true it's copper.

I just got a Retail Box 750 T-Bird socket A from buy.com - It has a green core and is week 30. I connected the L1 bridges today. With stock heatsink/fan and silver paste this thing runs 910 Mhz at 1.75v on an Abit KT7 - It was that sweet $157 deal. Can't wait so see what this thing does with an Alpha. I hope it buys me 90 Mhz!

I am sure that my OEM T-Bird 900 is blue, it is still really hard to tell unless you have another in your hand, when i tilt it to an angle, it is defintly blue, havn't tried to overclock yet, may get to 1Ghz one day
