upgrading to xp 2500 have 4 steppings to choose from?

walldow · Aug 19, 2003

ok i have found 4 steppings i can pick from.

AQXEA

0328 SPQW
0329 MPMW
0329 VPHW
0330 VPMW

anyone know wich would be the best over clocker? i have a good water setup and hopping to get 2.6 gig or better from one of these chips?

thanks guys!

The VPHW is probably the best. I, and others, believe that the lower the third letter of the four letter code, the better. Lower letters consistently do better.

Where can I get the VPHW?

Not excaliberpc.com or anyone else guarantees those kind of codes.

ya it's excaliber.pc

and the 0329 MPMW & 0330 VPMW are OEM 30day warranty! $95 + $5 shipping =$100

alittle more expensive than newegg but i say if they can garrantee the stepping it's worth it! going to get the 0329 VPHW this weekend i guess, along with ABIT's new KV7 (VIA KT-600)$87 from excaliber.pc as well.

unless anyone knows were i can gett a better stepping garanteed!

In that case, I'd go for the second choice. The risk of getting an SPQW is too high, and you'd probably be disappointed if you did.

it clearly states iether one dos that not mean you can chose from both chips for that price?
