I have 2 exact same cpus to buy Pentium 4 2.4B ghz 533fsb

BUT the steppings are different which one should I choose

SL6RZ Costa Rica

OR

SL6EF Philipines
 
What you listed is actually the s-spec code, not the stepping. Both of the two you listed are C1 steppings. I'd probably pick the one with the later pack date I guess. Check the CPU database to see if any of those two are listed. Too bad you can't find one of the D1 stepping 2.4B CPUs, either a SL6PC or a SL6Q8.
 
i would take the costa rica chip, but theres still a chance with both that they will be poor oc'ers. good luck getting a good one!
