Please say I got a good stepping- CANBE 0544

[Noni]

After time and time yurning for a CPU, I finally gave in to an ebay auction for a CANBE 0540. I presumed (it being CANBE) that it will be good. A simple search shows one person had no luck with overclocking.

I knew I was going to get a bad stepping, worse thing is , its now in stock at a online retailer . I havent recieved the cpu yet.

Im hoping if you guys can shed more light to the CPU's stepping.

Thank you.
