retail boxed a64 3200

What stepping are you guys getting as of late? And what kind of warranty is offered?

Since the OEM versions seem to be the old "C0" steppings I'm a little worried and since mobies basically don't work I'm going to go desktop..

My retail box off newegg was a C0 Stepping. Got it from newegg.com a few months ago. Oh well.

Why not grab the 512k version? That way you are guaranteed CG stepping and I will personally take the 200mhz default clockspeed over another 512k of cache anyday.

it's not guaranteed you'll get a CG with the newcastles... there are still C0's floating around... 🙂

Interesting, I haven't seen a C0 newcastle 3200+ yet, got a link to someone who has one with a pic of it?

Which one? I'm worried about multis... If I can get both chips to 2500Mhz obviously the xtra 512 will be the faster by more than 5% since they are within 5% at 2.0...higher scaling increases this gap.

PLEASE stop referring to it as a stepping. C0 and CG are revisions. Read a document once in a while.
