E8500 stepping

[Clum]

i'm going to change out my 6600 for an 8500 as a final upgrade to my current system. am i right in thinking that there are some E0 stepping 8500's around? if so is there anyway to tell which stepping they are before you buy from overclockers?

cheers

My E8400 that I bought ~6 weeks ago is E0 stepping. I think most are now.

Even the "lowly" CO ones overclock quiet well though Just might need a bit more voltage.
