How to tell the week of my A64?

[Bunnn]

Do I have to take out my cpu to find out what week it is?? i know that it starts like 04xx something like that but is there a way to check it without taking it back out??

i dont think so, you need to turn off the comp, take off the heatsink and look at the #

should have written it down before you put it in

what exactly does the week number tell you?

when other people get good OC results, it usually means that CPUs made in that week are all good OC'ers

i have a week 47 winchester 3000+ . . . i THINK those are good oc'ers . . .

uh.. is this verified fact or popular fiction?

not necessarily, but I think that it's a general and relatively useful way to at least gauge the possible oc of yoru chip. Logically it makes sense that if one chip is a good oc those made with the same batch of materials will be equally good. But then again I'm quite unfamiliar with the process of CPU manufacturing, so I'm kinda guessing =P
