Good to hear, and funny too. I saw a couple ES on eBay a while ago, it happens from time to time. I'll keep an eye out.

this is one interesting thread.. despite it going off topic somewhat

apart from being released 'early' what else is so special about these 'es' chips??

either way im not in the market for a 965 d0 but a 920 d0 would be nice

You mean that you can find back this id from a software right ? I think so...

Bexcause It's too easy to erase the serial on the IHS

This is just greedy.... Having such an important ES in your hands and placing it into an auction is totally disrespectful to the company that trusted you with it ...

So what is the plan here? 965's clock pretty badly for the most part (note im talking about clocks not performance). 5ghz vantage is rare. I thought D0 stepping 965 would be great if they hit 5.5 like FUGGER stated earlier.

So now there will be no D0 965? I would've bought one if it was really an improvement over C0. But no way will I get C0's since to find a decent one your talking binning a hundred cpus or more...

I Call shenanigans on them - they remind me of what was the company ? .... L PC?

Just so we're clear, I was answering a question only. I have no interest or care one way or the other about anything else.

The 940 and the 965 get phased out. The 950 will replace the 940 with a 23X Multi. And the 975 replaces the 965 with a 25X Multi. Of Course the 950 and 975XE will have D0 core stepping.

Do you have a source? Ive heard all sorts of conflicting information regarding this.
