Looking at the CPU-Z on the right,

family F model 4 stepping 0
and
SH7-CO
all point to a ClawHammer CO revision.

The NewCastle labelled by CPU-Z on the right is wrong.

Since it only has 512 KB L2, it is a cut-down version with half L2 disabled.

Have you tried to see if sandra will tell you anything also I would say that the code off the cpu would help ID you cpu the best.

Something madman22 might have left out is that he probably had a CG version which means it will overclock well.

Your 2800+ newcastle IS a clawhammer cut down to a 512k version CO which wont oc so well. You can get about 200-300 only. However 2800+ mobile or dtr clawhammer can oc well.
