Athough it was safe to buy from Newegg and get a 1700+ JIUHB (Tbred B) not too long ago, I just bought one recently, and it turned out to be a Tbred A (AIRGA).

I don't want ppl returning their Tbred A to NewEgg, as they DID advertise it as a Tbred A anyways. Just more of a "I guess their TbredB supply just ran out" warning. :)

In fact, I kept the Tbred A and swapped it with my boss, as he doesn't care about overclocking speeds.
 
I'm not impressed with the JIUHB I tried. It wouldn't overclock at all. In fact, if I used any mult but 11, the system wouldn't even POST. It wouldn't handle a high FSB very well either.
 
I dunno about that... still working on getting mine to work (experimenting).

Think a 2100+ AUIHB is a better bet? Or a new 2500+ Barton? (It's going for $173 vs $97)
