Best Athlon Stepping?

[Bobby Manus]

I am going to go buy a 1.4ghz athlon tomarow and I would just like to know what steppings seem to get the best oc? According to the CPU database the AYHJA seems to be dominating. Does it matter if its lets say a AYHJA "Y" or "R". I am planing on hand picking the steping I want so whats a few stepings I should look for? Thanks.

it's true that the AYHJA steppings dominate in the database and as far as i know the best AYHJAs to overclock are the ones whose third line of the stepping beggins with a letter like "Y" or "R". the AXIA steppings also seem to be good overclockers.

Definetly get a Y or R because I have a K stepping AYHJA 1.4 and it doesn't overclock well at all. I can post @ 1766 but can't boot into windows over 1.53Ghz.I also heard actually the 1.33s people have better luck overclocking with geting 1.7+Ghz air cooled if you get a AYHJA Y or AXIA Y =-) GL finding a nice stepping.
