Is an SL7PN a DO stepping?

SL7PN is E0. However, if you're looking for a D0 stepping of the same chip, SL7KL would be the way to go. Also, note that SL7PN is socket 478 and the SL7KL chip is socketT, LGA775.

On the Intel site, it list the sl7pn as CO stepping, so is that a typo over at intel?
My local vender has sl7pn's and sl7e5's in stock.Just trying to get the best clocker of the two.Thanks.................Chris
 
The link you posted didn't work for me. This page is where I'm getting the stepping of SL7PN chip from.

SL7PN is E0 stepping and SL7E5 is D0 stepping. SL7PN has a newer stepping (E0) and would typically overclock better.
Personally, I've never used any of those chips so I wouldn't really know which would overclock better but I'd assume it would be SL7PN because it was newer.
Maybe someone who used that chip before will post and say whether I'm right for assuming that chip would probably be best.
