What Athlon 1900 should i get

[Byte]

They have two retail 1900+ at newegg, the one with the AGOGA core and one not marked which is $4 more, which one should i get?

The 1900s with the AGOGA stepping are reputed to be good overclockers, so if you are interested in overclocking, it may be worth $4 to you to be guaranteed a good stepping.

Actually, its $7 more. The AGOGA stepping 1900 for $130 is OEM,the $134 1900 is retail.

so should i get retail or OEM AGOGA

I don't think you can get a retail chip that's guaranteed to be an AGOGA. If you want to be guaranteed an AGOGA, get the AGOGA OEM then a HS/F of your choice.

If you want a 3yr AMD warranty, do not get the OEM, get the retail which also comes with a nice HSF.
