Is this a good stepping for an Opteron 165?

Or maybe point me to resource that will tell me.

I'm wondering, cause I'd really love it if I could push that processor to 2.6GHz (FX-60 territory). I bought a DFI LanParty UT nF4 Ultra-D, and 2GB of OCZ Platinium DDR500 RAM.
And that Scythe Ninja HSF for cooling.

good question.

the hot stepping to get is the ccbwe 0550vpmw or ccb1e 0550vpmw

not too sure about the 0551wpmw. first time i've heard it.

give it a go. i'm sure 2.6 should be possible.

Thanks.
And I'll definitely give it a go.
That is, as soon as the rest of my stuff (video card, thermal paste, and HSF) arrives.

Note to the OP:

OSA165DAA6CD is not the stepping. Those numbers contain information like model number, default voltage, what core is under the hood, ect.

CCBWE 0551WPMW is the stepping. the 0551 part is the manufacture date. This indicates that it was manufactured in 2005 during the 51st week of the year.
