[eightywpm]

looking to buy either two of these processors, what's the best stepping for each and which online retailers guarantee these steppings?

Cheapest guaranteed T-Bred B? $49 free shipping
http://www.gameve.com/store/gameve_viewitem.asp?idproduct=267

Cheapest guaranteed DLT3C T-Bred B is $63 + $5
http://www.excaliberpc.com/product_info.php?cPath=178_186&products_id=1925

But I wouldn't spend $68, I would go with 2100+ instead for a dollar less $67 + $0

2500+? Prolly newegg.com

The DLT3C 1700+ doesnt like high voltages, so at 1.8v it can do around 2400 Mhz average. The Barton AQXEA retail that newegg has isnt doing as well as it could for me, so I recommmend the DLT3C if you want more performance, and it's cheaper than the barton.

Good choice see my sig and that is just cold air cooled at 2.06V Make sure you buy the $63 one from excaliberpc.com or handpick from a local store if you know what to look for otherwise you'll probably end up with a crappy one.

If going wiht the 1700...go with either a 1700 310w or the 319...I have a 310w from ex and can do 2.4Ghz on 1.75v's on a A7N8X Deluxe with a slk-800a and 92mm fan...the 319 would do 2.4 at 1.7v's on the same setup...

how'd you fit a 92mm fan on the slk-800a?

put the 92 on it and slightly bent the clips until they clipped on the tornado...
