What's cB0 stepping

[Gabus]

what's the difference and how is it better. I assume it's a later stepping, does it overclock better?

 

[Madcowz]

although kind of old it's intel's newer stepping of Pentium 3 processors. Basically it's just a revision on the chip design and yes it does generally overclock better than older steppings

Definitely get a (preferably retail) cB0 stepping chip if you are going to overclock - otherwise it makes no difference. All available Intel chips @ 800 MHz & over are cB0's.

better yet, get a cC0. It's the latest Pentium3/celeron2 core stepping.

I thought the cc0's were recalled or something? Or was that just certain ones?
