Stupid question for buying new Tbird

[f155mph]

Ok I am looking to get a new Tbird 1.2 or 1.4 (200fsb). I notice on pricewatch that not that many places are selling them. So where did you guys get your? What stepping should I get? Will they tell me what the stepping is?

Thanks

Well, I got my 1 GHz at a comp show in Fl, and bought my 1.4 GHz from a guy at a FS board as part of a bundle. There's not too many places online you'll be able to know what stepping you'll get, and most, when ya can choose, will charge a bit more.
Two good sources I know of are NewEgg.com and PCNut.com.
I've also noticed that for some reason the 200 fsb flavors tend to be a tad more expensive than the 266 fsb.
Hope this helps ya :D

I've gotten two from Newegg and they guarantee an AYHJA stepping chip for a very good price. Both of mine have hit at least 1.68GHz with air cooling and less than 2.0V VCore.

They are OEM chips and they do have them in stock as of now for $109.
