does anyone know if this is generally a good stepping?

I corrupted the data on my new 120 WD sata drive from screwing around with the fsb. sigh

Akira283-IGN said:Weeks, sSpecs and steppings are practically useless. This is because not every CPU from every stepping and week is overclocked, so it's impossible to know the best overall. People only know which ones seem to overclock the best. Overclocking is unpredictable because a CPU from a popular stepping/sSpec/week might overclock poorly, and likewise a CPU from an unpopular stepping/sSpec/week might do very well.

People asking for good steppings when buying their proc know what to expect in very good approximation, and they *are* important (from what I have seen on this forum and elsewhere)
and ofcourse there will be a minimal % of processors in every stepping that fail to o/c as good as others, so what lol
