Hi all... I'm new to o/c. Presently using a 1700+ DUTC 03/02 and a NF7-S mobo. Thought of getting NewEggs 2500+ mobile xps. Is this stepping good? AXMH2500FQQ4C. Thks in advance.

That site u can pick what cpu stepping you want and its garunteed also, with newegg its just the luck of the draw.

This one is the one i would get. IQYHA : MPMW are looking like thier the best stepping's.

Thanks for your replies.... I'm running 2.2 ghz on my rig now(1700xp dutc). Does it have a noticable difference while playing games or surfing the net with this 2500/2600 mobile cpus?

Well the extra 512 Kb of cache works out at around 5% performance boost, and the extra 400 MHz you might get out of it would certainly make a difference in games, but with the net, it's your connection speed that is the bottle neck, not the computer itself.

same here, after seeing some previews for nforce3 250 made me want amd64 really bad but I've made my mind to stick with socket A until amd integrate their chips and apps to utilize them. looking ahead to the summer 2005 project (90nm/DC/sock939/DDR2/PCI-E).
