I was wondering if all the 266 chips are copper or some are still aluminum?

How do you know which one is Austin and which one is dresden CPU? By looking at the color of the chip, Green as TX vs purple as Germany? I heard that now <1G AMD CPUs are made in TX and 1G+ CPUs are made in Germany... But I have a 800 duron which is Purple.. So confused for the color coding but I am very happy with my 800 Duron @ 7.5x137=1028mhz... very stable.... but could be as high and a little less stable as 8x133 = 1066mz....Never been happier with those Durons
