Why didn't you just type Newegg? The Q6600's should be G0, but no one knows what kind of stock Newegg or other retailers have of the B3's, so theres no 100% certainty that the Newegg Q6600 will be G0, however I would think they would mostly be. I bought my CPU OEM several months ago and I got a G0.

With my luck I would be the one to get a B3 trickling through. :(

"Pretty Sure" and "100%" contradict each other.

Actually, he meant that he's pretty sure that 100% of what they're shipping have G0 stepping, meaning that he believes that they've only got G0 in stock.

He didn't say, "I'm pretty 100% sure."

Negative, the processors in question are plural.

I'd say: "All of the processors have G0 stepping".

Would you say: "All of the processors has G0 stepping"?

edit: I just saw your age, no wonder.
