Any noticeable differences from the M0 steppings? I'd guess for lower temperatures and higher overclocks...as well as lower VIDs.

will I be able to buy this new processor by monday? I am hoping so, because I have held back on building a new Pc for this reason...

Wonder if the e5300 to be released on Nov 30th will also have a R0 stepping.

I had forgotten about this being released - nice to see 2.8Ghz stock speed - should make overclocking easier on cheapo boards too with a slightly higher multi.

yea

for those prices I'd rather get an E8400

Great. Now all the wonderful Asrock beta BIOSes for the 775dual-VSTA and the Conroe865PE will be obsolete and need another patch, with this new stepping.

Roger that.

Good thing about the E7400 is that stores won't be able to sell the E7200 for $120+ anymore. Microcenter's $99 price will become the norm (hopefully). This should also impact other chip pricing to the downside as well (along with the general economic malaise).
