Does this mean that all the new chips that Intel are going to be putting out will be of this stepping BTW, Cos im about to buy my new rig, using a 6300/6400, and don't really want a crippled chip if you know what I mean

Oh and BTW, are all low end chips going to be replaced, or just the 6300's?

Last thing, are these new steppings going to be replacing the old, or just being sold as well as?

PS: sorry for the n00bness
