There are two versions of 2600+. 333 FSB & 266 FSB.
You have the Thoroughbred 'B' 266 FSB version.
Good CPU if you're not going to overclock.
If you are going to overclock 1700+ T-Bred B, 2100+ T-Bred B, 2500+ Barton may have been better cost to performance purchases.

You say it was made in June 2003? So they do + they even make new DLT3C 1700+ T-Bred A's.
Soon they will stop making T-Breds and will only make Bartons and Thortons.

You can still overclock your FSB to [166] = 333 if you have good RAM.

It all depends on the rest of your system, particularily RAM and cooling.
Common misconception about DLT3C's.
The only way to distinguish between the two is by the stepping code.
T-Bred A's have a stepping code which ends in "A": xxxA are T-Bred A's
T-Bred B's have a stepping code which ends in "B": xxxB are T-Bred B's

Note that I can't get my PC2100 above 152 in sync, so 166 can only be done with PC2700 and above (in sync).

Which one is the best 2600 stepping, disregarding fsb:
dkv3c aiuhb0323tprw (fsb266)
or
aiuhb0315vpyw? (fsb333)
Considering you've got a good mb and memory, which one is best for overclocking? I've read that newer stepping version are better manufactured, right?

I would go for the 0323 as it was manufactured later.
Also there is no difference between the 2600+ 266FSB and 333FSB, the 333FSB originally runs at 2083Mhz, the 266 version runs at 2133MHz. The FSB difference doesn't make a CPU more stable, you might've not get what you ordered exactly, but i wouldn't RMA or anything like that because of this.

There IS NO difference between them, one just has a lower stock multiplier

The processors are unlocked for different x8 bits; the 266mhz one for the higher multiplier range, the 333mhz for the lower range. But both are guaranteed to reach exactly the same speeds, so there effectively is no difference.

the last letter (C or D) indicate the default FSB. B = 100 (200DDR), C = 133 (266DDR), D = 166 (333DDR) and E = 200 (400DDR)
