I just got a xp1600..how do i tell if its an agoia, or whatever that good one is?
And, does this effect performance/overclocking..?

Just look at the Die of the CPU. The stepping and other information is printed there. Yes, it may affect the maximum overclocking, but there are no guarantees.

Look at the "stickies" at the top of each forum. They're good reading!
