E8500 E0 Stepping Serial

[kppanic]

Hi all,

Search engine won't let me search for the word 'e0' as it is not long enough...

I am going to get two e8500 tomorrow and want to make sure that they are e0 stepping.

Any serial number/week number or any other tips that would guarantee me a couple of E0's?

Cheers.

Edit: also, would a Corsair XMS2 6400C5 800MHz be enough to run these babies at 420x9.5? or would i need to resort to 1066 for these?

If you actually holding a box (not online purchase) its is easy to see the Stepping.

That Corsair should be fine, I've had 1000mhz out both the normal XM2 and DHX.

Oh, it would actually say E0 along the lines?

Cheers
