Opteron 170 - 0546XPMW or 0550UPMW?

Which is the better stepping? Keep in mind this is UPMW, not the coveted VPMW which I wish I could find. Still the UPMW's seem to do alirght. XPMW also seems to be good. What to do?

what is cooling going to be? air or water?

 

[compgeek89]

Weak water, not so awesome. Seems to keep cpus between 47-50C @ 1.55v whether dual core or single.

I would prolly go with the upmw on water
But either way you are prolly looking at 2.7-2.9

tough call.

the 0546xpmw did 2.8 with 1.5 volts on water.
