What exactly is go stepping, as featured on the Q6600, and is it on all Q6600's.

It's just a code given to differentiate between models. G0 is a newer version of the Q6600 that betters the previous version slightly as the fab process is refined. The G0 has better temps I believe which helps over clocking.

Wiz beat me to it! But to add to that, only the Q6600s that include the letters "SLACR" in the product description are of G0 stepping.

Cheers, Slipstreem.



System specs: "Phoenix" - Intel C2D E4500 overclocked to 3GHz with ACF7Pro HSF on Volt-modded ASRock 775Dual-VSTA mobo (modded BIOS rev 3.10A and VNB=1.65, Vagp=1.8), 2x1GB Crucial Ballistix DDR2-800 RAM (3.0,3,3,8,1T @546MHz), Sapphire ATI HD3870 512MB GDDR4 PCIe graphics card overclocked to 850MHz GPU & 2.4GHz RAM. Powered by Hiper Type-M 580W PSU. Guess who likes overclocking on a budget.

A little to late if the cpu has been bought but cpu-z will tell you all you need to know about a processor. I can't see many retailers still having the older version though.

Very true, Wiz. But I guess it's still worth watching out for if purchasing secondhand from the likes of Ebay.

Cheers, Slipstreem.
