Sorry That's old news bud, the new stepping is in the retail box's which are already in the retail shops, heck if you have $1200 looks like you can walk in and buy a XE6800 this friday there apear to be loads of them; how does the saying go - move along nothing to see here.

Old news, but what this article introduce new is the C-2 stepping for the p965.

I think all the board that are coming in the next 2 week have the C-1s step..
