I haven't seen any places selling pretested Tualatins. Come to think of it, I don't see to many pre-tested CPUs of ANY kind any more- nowadays, pretty much any chip you get is guaranteed to have some extra speed in it- gone are the days when you might get a CPU that will not OC at all. It's just not worth it anymore.

Like, for the price of a pretested 700@1000 it used to be you could just get the real 1000 chip, and OC from there.

But, try PCnut.com- I know he used to sell pretested parts and is trustworthy. Expensive though.

I am selling some!

1.0a @ 1.4GHz 1.7v

1.2 @ 1.5GHz 1.7v

Both will do higher with a very good cooler. I am only using a alpha pal 6035. email me if you want to know more.

Here is a link. Hopefully I don't get into trouble with this one!
