Getting an unlocked CPU from newegg is like guessing a number from the roll of a die. You won't know until you receive your CPU. Their customer service won't be able to provide you the stepping code because the product is shipped from a warehouse, maybe from a different state. The only sure way of getting an unlock CPU is by buying thru EBAY. I got my 1800 DLT3C JIHUB for $50 on Ebay. Make sure that the seller has a good rating and ask him/her for the stepping code before you buy one. If the seller does not provide the stepping code, don't bid from him. He could be selling a palomino to you.
