I just read on a post that the P3-700e (slot 1) cb0 is the most "requested" processor. Are there other types of p3-700's?? I went to pricewatch and you can pick these up for 180+ shipping but I was just worried that I would be picking up the "wrong type." Anyone know what the e and the cb0 stand for?

thanks!!

the "e" stands for "coppermine", meaning it is the newest CPU and has all the fancy ATC (advanced transfer cache) and such.

Actually, all 700 chips are 700e by default, so often the 'e' is left off.

The cB0 is the stepping.

As Intel revises the chip and its manufacturing, they name each change as a "stepping". cC0 is the newest stepping but is only used in making 1Ghz (and previously 1.13Ghz) CPUs. cB0 setpping offers the most overclockability.

That's why people want it

But note that current cB0 700MHz CPUs don't seem to be as good as the original cB0 ones. Check out the CPU forum.
