lazerman said:I how do you choose which stepping you get?
actually some websites like excaliburpc.com (might be wrong, but i know i've seen it) will GUARANTEE a IQYHA stepping or w/e u want. BUT they will charge you an extra $15 or so, and i believe you cannot return it. Newegg does not guarantee anything, but ALOT of people get them, so i think they're common. i'd just go with newegg, and if it SUCKS (which i doubt it will) RMA should prove a better chip.
