Avoid 6600 - Batch 7638A742

[The Asgard]

Just a word to the wise for people that have access to chips based on batch codes. Avoid 7638A742 like the plague. Worst C2D chips I have ever come across. Failing Orthos with 1.45 on the core at 2.7G's and will not boot at 400FSB with any amount of voltage.

Its OK just 3 that passed through my hands and I always check for overclockability and thought I would give you the heads up. Currently using a 29B so I'm happy.
