WOW! that looks really like a great CPU!
since it did ExTREMELY well on lower voltages I think this is more like the 1700 jiuhb 310 WPMW's they did great on lower voltages but at the high end they kinda just dropped off. My 310 XPMW is supposed to be able to get good results with highvoltage, but it turns out it runs best on 1.725 VCORE, but maybe my PSU just cant handle any more. Anyways, that looks like a really really good stepping! Im surprised that AMD is coming out wiht all these new steppings that oc so well! maybe they are trying to do the same thing as intel wiht the P4EE, they might just be trying to get new things out with the k7 to sell well before the k8 comes out. I hear there are some really good barton steppings as well,

so im leaning away form ghetto.
as for Akira283-ign's post, that is quite interesting, and i kinda agree with it, but usually if you see 90 percent of the people with XXYYXX 7777 stepping getting extreme overclocks, usually MOST of the XXYYXX 7777 steppings will be good, but of course there are always some rotten apples in the batch.
well, good luck Just Shoot! i hope in the future that chip will get you more! my 1700 did, for a while i could only get 2.3, then i tried it again after a couple months of folding, and got 2.5ish, but i couldnt keep it there becuase of temps.
Cheers!
