Operton 165 - Good Stepping?

[Chronictank]

Hi,
i have been offered a Operton 165 with the stepping
CCB1E 0609FPBW
for £150, my current processor (also a 165) topped off at 2.6Ghz

Is it worth buying it in your opinion?

Thanks in advance

The CCB1E 0609FPBW is the highest i've seen at over 3.1Ghzs prime stable with air cooling. I only saw 2 of these and both were retails and both clocked the same. Dont get confused with the CCB1E 0609FPAW which usually max out around 2.8/9.

Whether its worth £150, i doubt it as people have been struggling to sell them on MM for less than that and new ones are £160.

very glad you posted this
the stepping being sold is OSA165DAA6CD CCB1E 0609FPBW,
i asked if he is willing to sell for £100 (since you can get a higher speed AM2 for near that) but i doubt he will seeing as this is one of the best steppings

Also what is MM? if its against the rules to say mail me at
