E0 Stepping Q9550

[uwstonedprophet]

Hi. I am purchasing a Q9550. Newegg has the best price but cannot guarantee the E0 stepping. Is it safe to assume if I order from Newegg that it will be E0 stepping or is this a total crap shoot?

See this thread: http://www.tomshardware.com/forum/254963-28-q9550-steppings

Seems it's still "a crap shoot"
