Quad core on mwave is it G0?

[simpsons]

can anyone tell me if it is G0 version of the quad-core

Buy it and find out.

Everything is luck right now, you can always return.

Ask the sales-man to check the five last digits of the product code ( on the sticker on the side of the package ), if it ends up with SLACR, then it's G0.

Does mWave have a customer forum? I never have looked. If they do see what customers are saying what they are getting.

Their web page description explicitly says it's B3.

However that doesn't mean they don't have G0s
that they'll just ignorantly sell because they don't
differentiate the stock of B3/G0.

They have not responded to my inquiry about having any
G0 CPUs.

Did they give you any help over the phone or email?

exactly the response I got. This is to be expected. No retailer is obligated by any means to hand pick your CPU because you want to overclock. They sell the CPU as quad core 2.4Ghz only with no implied or written warranty about getting a specific overclock etc.

There are a few retailers who will/may try their best to get you a G0 if you ask, but again they are not obligated to do so.

Just food for thought.
