Hey guys, i have ran across some AMD64 3500's and i was wondering if by looking at the mfr number if any of you could tell if it was the retail version or OEM & if it was the New Castle core or Winchester, any help would really be appreciated!!! Here's the list...

Mfr# ADA3500BIBOX
Mfr# ADA3500AWBOX
Mfr# ADA3500DEP4AW

I think you've got to have the UPC to really be able to tell but im not 100% on that, any help??? Thanks, Randy

I think
ADA3500BIBOX is retail ( i think winchester 90nm)

ADA3500AWBOX is newcastle retail

and

ADA3500DEP4AW would be OEM NewCastle


this is what i got using google search.. which is a pretty handy search tool.

Yes, better overclockability and lower temps.

I think AzN_Pride has it nailed down correctly.

All ya had to do was google the part numbers for uour answer for future reference.

I was told there is a leniency of .05 on the vcore? Now, i have a question as well, i just built my 3200+ winchester 90nm and abit av8 k8t800, and on the bios it is set at 200 which should be the 2ghz, but on my desktop it says 2.04, so on the bios i am not overclocked but the desktop software says i am. I was told that there is no fsb on this processor for motherboard right? so when it is saying multiplier 10 that is just the software right? So my bios would be correct at 2000 that it says, it is 204/66/33 which the board says is default. but the bios says 200. Well, my vcore temp is stable at 1.40 which i was told is where it is supposed to be.
