which stepping for p3 700 for oc?

p3 700. cB0 or cA2? This's for overclocking to 933+. And about how much would it cost?

CB0 or CC0.. a P3700 should be around 175 .. or you can pay higher for a guarantee version...

Don't waste your money for guaranteed CPU.

Get the cB0 or cC0 from onvia.com they have a great return policy.

If needed raise the voltage and you will do 933 easy.

I say amen to Coki's advise,go to Onvia.com.

I've bought 3 700E's from Onvia all were cB0 stepping. Only one of them would do 933 at a reasonable voltage (1.75v). The other two run at 868@1.70v perfectly...you just never know until you get one and try it.

Are the cCO steppings on the street now? How can you verify the chip stepping? If they are available these chips should easily do over a Gig. Maybe it's time some overclockers tried the cCO P3750 or P3800 at 133Mhz and try to find the "sweetspot" for this stepping. The P3700 has sure been it for the cBO stepping. I'm waiting to upgrade to a pair of these chips for my Tyan Tiger 100 if they overclock well. This looks like the final phase for the P3. Intel is going to the P4 Itanic and that is going to be a POS:disgust: Maybe it's time to buy some AMD stock.

This one? it's $219. Where can I find coupons/discounts? I was hoping to get the chip for under $200.
