    Core 2 Duo Core?

    Hey Scan , just wondering what core stepping are the core 2 duo's that you will be getting be? I will not be ordering one until I know for certain that I will get a B2 stepping as opposed to the B1 stepping with the RAID bug. I will be using RAID a lot later this year and can't afford to have any problems with it .
    Thanks,
    EG

    PS I think some others are interested in this as well

    If you check the stickys at the top it seems that they can no longer guarantee.

    I know about that, but I assume that they are receiving them all as one batch...

    Hi,

    I thought all retail Core 2 Duo chips were the B2 stepping, I may have just mis-read the forums I have been following though.

    On a related issue, what is the cheapest motherboard you sell that is Core Duo compatible? I'm not looking to overclock it so a highly specialized overclocking board is not needed
