What is G0 stepping?

[BobaFettK]

I keep reading about it in the reviews of the Q6600 processor, and about people saying they hope they get a processor with G0 instead of B3. What does this mean, and is there a way to order one over the other from an e-tailer?

Thanks!

The GO stepping is a newer version of the Q6600 and its cooler and runs more efficiently.

You should get one, many companys have stopped selling the B2 and B3 versions, or they are cheaper, at the end of the day the difference between the three is minimal and you should only worry if your a big overclocker.
