AMD: DOBOX vs. CZBOX

[CtrlAltDel]

Hi gurus,

I'm planning a computer for a friend with a limited budget. Thinking of Athlon X2 5600+. I have two models with the same price tag, models being:

ADA5600DOBOX
ADA5600CZBOX

Any idea of the difference? AMD's own pages did not find anything with DOBOX model...

Thanks in advance!

I am guessing it is a different production run or a misprint maybe. Try AMD cpu finder

The model numbers can be broken down according to this chart here: http://products.amd.com/en-us/images/chart_r2.gif

"DOBOX" - D = socket 939, O = 1.25V core voltage
"CZBOX" - C = socket 940, Z = not on the chart

Several retail sites have them both listed as socket AM2 parts though. I'm going to second Jackalope on this one and say the "CZBOX" is probably a misprint. Just make sure they are both quoted as having the same socket type and you could buy either one. If you get one with the wrong socket type, return it.
