Get your post 7/22 quad prices NOW!!

[none1]

FRY's (and many others) have a 30 day "price match" guarantee ..... if the item you buy today goes down in price in the next 30 days, bring in your reciept and get paid the difference.

So you could buy a quad toady (7/7/07) for $550, and if the price goes down on 7/23 to $350, you might get paid the difference. Yes, its risky, you get stuck with high price if the price doesn't go down until late August .....

(disclaimer, check for YOURSELF what price match YOUR vendor offers)

SO I purchased a quad today, should be online tomorrow.

Does anyone know what stepping FRY's has?

 

[eaglescouter]

The new stepping is most likely not available quite yet.....

But go check

 

[JamesXP]

for 300 you can preordr go's at tankguys

 

[Audioaficionado]

Don't settle for anything less than a G0 stepping.

All the ones selling now most likely are old stock.

 

[Automata]

for 300 you can preordr go's at tankguys

This would be the best thing to do if you want the G0 stepping one...

 

[JamesXP]

for only 33 more you could get a much better chip

and you only have to deposit 5 and you pay when they get stock

anyone gota link to where the stepping is on the box ?

 

[eaglescouter]

I do not believe the stepping is listed on the outside of the box. Only shown on the cpu itself.

 

[muddocktor]

Actually, Intel does show the stepping code on the outside of the box, as well as the manufacture date and pack date.

Let me ask again .... does anyone know where to find the stepping code, or have a link to where I could find this? I did a quick search of the CPU forums, didn't see anything, am hoping someone here has a quick answer before I go off and research.

I have a quad in a box. There is a product code, a MM#, a FPO/batch #, a Version #, a EAN, and a UPC. Nowhere on the box does it say stepping. I can see the die side of the CPU through the box. Nothing on the CPU seems to have a G0 OR a B3. Nothing on the box has a G0 OR a B3. No B1 or B2 either.

I did see something that indicated that MM#s up to xxxx were B3, and over YYYY were G0, and my MM3 (of course) is between xxxx and yyyy ......

Thanks!

at that end of the batch code if it says SLACR its probably GO but SLA9R is b3

 

[none1]

JamesXP, we're getting closer! Its actually the "product code" not the batch #. Mine says SL9UM .... and also says this on the die (can see this even without opening the box.

So if SLACR is G), and SLA9R is B3, whats SL9UM?


Thanks!
