New 170/175 stepping?

Xionic · 24 Feb 2006 at 20:30

just checked OCUK and noticed they have the 170 back in stock and also have the 175.... anyone got any news on the stepping as i place my order for a new PC this weekend and am intending on getting a 4400+ but if the stepping of the 170 (or maybe push and get a 175) is any good il get one instead. id rather get a 4400+ with 2.2ghz than get a bad batch of 170 and not be able to clock it very far

I wouldn't worry.Even with a bad clocking opty you will get 2.6ghz.
