Aren't all PIII866 CB0 or CC0 stepping?

[Yomama]

I just checked at ATACOM and saw that they are offering PIII866 in CB0 and (cheaper) non-named stepping - inducing the fear that you might get the dreaded CA2 stepping. Checking at the Intel website they seem to only produce a CB0 stepping for this processor.

Question: Has anyone ordered a PIII866 or PIII800 from Atacom, and received a CA2 (old) stepping?

I don't think so, but lets see.

P.s.:

If it turns out that in fact the Intel spec sheet is correct, then why is Atacom offering CB0 and not CB0. I think, while justified for PIII under 800, this is becoming an unethical business practice.

Probaly because they have CBO's and CCO's

The ones that are not CB0 are cheaper - so it's unlikely.

Thanks
