I'm planning to buy a couple for my duallie:
What are the chances that I'll get a cCO from vendors that don't specify stepping?
Are there any vendors from which I'd have a higher chance at a cCO?
What are the chances of getting a cBo? or even a cA2?
If you order 2 from the same place will they usually be the same stepping?


Oc'ing w/ air cooling:
If I got a cCO, would I most likely get 933 at default?
or should I expect to get 933 w/ upped voltage?
What are the typical/avg overclock ranges for each stepping?
Any difference in retail or OEM oc'ablity?
 
There are shops that will specify cC0 and if you're NOT going to go with a pre-tested CPU then the cC0 is a better bet. I paid a few extra bucks for a pre-tested 700E that was gaurenteed to run at 933 at no greater than 1.7 volts. Of cource this is an OEM because the guy has to test it. Mine is a cB0 and does the 933 at 1.6 volts.
 
hehe, thanks, i've bought 4 from him already,
just wondered if there was a different route.

he IS a great guy btw, and he has awesome cpus.
