The new ones are E4 and I believe the 3200+ I bought for my dads boss has an X2 stepping...

0521DPMWs are great, but i wouldn't group them under "recent" venices. I am curious as to how recent venices OC myself. Seems everybody has been getting Opties instead so i have no idea how vennies are doing.

s7e9h3n was implying that his is forsale. I was going to trade my Opty for it, but I kinda like this 3ghz 0540FPBW better :D Sorry steven :sofa:

I picked up a 3000+ for a friend, 0544 FPAW. I didnt get a chance to play with it much cause he was bugging the :banana::banana::banana::banana: outta me. It did 280x9 32m stable at 1.45. Not too shabby.

And with Enjoy here, there's a couple 0521DPMWs to choose from. lol, they're good, low voltage CPUs. But jeeze, what week are we on, 0546 or something... and i DO remember when 0521 was the new kid.

Yeah, me too! Week 20's weren't bad either. I got my APMW off of eBay for $173 and found out just recently after I sold it that it could do 2.9+ghz air! I only ever got it to 2.85 in the winter due to a weak board. I almost bought a 21 CPMW too... ahh, how times change.

hello,

i'm the guy who's searching for a decent oc-cpu..

I mailed to my local pc shop, asking which cpu-steppings they have..

the vender mailed me :

0542EPBW

But I can't find any oc-results @ internet :confused: :rolleyes:

does someone tested this stepping yet ? :p:

Something tells me that supplies of newer steppings are coming through only slowly. Local shop out of s939. Had a 3200+ ordered elsewhere, out of stock, asked 3000+, out of stock, getting a 3500+ presumably E3.

in belgium (where i live), the 3000+ cpu's are hard to find, but the other one's (higher rating) are easy/easier to get :)

0542EPBW -> would that be an E3,E4 or E6 cpu ?
(and what's the best)

I'm hoping this 3200+ LBBWE 0544BPAW is part of a legendary batch. Kinda doubt it tho. :/

it depends
it's the first line you need to know

BP= E3
BW=E6
??=E4

0542EPBW
so :
BW=E6

= right ?

E6 = good oc'er ? =>

no epbw is the stepping, its just luck that it has BW in it also. you need the first (top) line on the processor to know what version it is.

mail send to my vendor ;)
thx for helping me...
by the way :
E3, E4, or E6 if you guys can choose ?
I saw a negative post about the E6 ones..
but i saw people hitting the 2.8ghz with a E6 :s
what's the 'right' conclusion ?:confused:
