Just had my E8400 delivered from Fry's and it is the S-Spec SLB9J EO stepping and it is a retail box.

I don't know if that is good or bad but it is the newest?

In my humble opinion, and personal experience, the DFI P35 - T2RS DK (WITH the 818 bios flashed
http://www.newegg.com/Product/...x?Item=N82E16813136053
$145
and the DFI P45 - T2RS DK PLUS (the plus has later A3 chipset) WITH the 812 bios flashed
http://www.newegg.com/Product/...x?Item=N82E16813136043
$175
are prob the best experience you will have with wolfdales
And of course go to www.i4memory.com for the successful bios setting templates for each
