perhaps someone could enlighten me...

[jlo56]

could someone tell me the diff between B0 and C1 stepping? I'm trying to decide between P4 2.4 (B0) or P4 2.5 (c1)

i dunno much about the p4's but the C1 is the newest best stepping so if u can get that one cuss they oc much better

fromwhat i gather (been away from forums for like 3 months) the c1's should overclockbetter

Banned, well res' should have taken my reading advice and taken a few deep breaths.

Back on topic,

The C1 stepping has 2 differences from the B0,

1. A minor fix that gives the C1 a slight performance advantage clock for clock over a B0 chip.
2. A default Vcore of 1.525v instead of the B0's 1.5v

Generally they seem to overclock better but as always with overclocking YMMV.

Better OC, go for the c1
