C0 or D0 stepping?

Has anyone received the new stepping of the i7 920? If not, what speed do you run the CPU at, and at what Vcore? I'm willing to wait a few months for the new stepping to saturate the market while the older stepping disappears. I'm looking for a 3.6GHz to 3.8GHz overclock on the CPU with a minimal raise in Vcore.

I was in similar boat to yourself = and found this article comparing the 2 steps to one another. I ended up jumping on the 200.00 i7 920 cpu from microcenter. The price was Too good to pass up.

Yeah - I'm lucky I got a local store. I was planning on waiting a couple months for the price to come down - or for the D0's to saturate the market - but after stewing for a little bit on the decision - the sale price was too good to pass up.

I was originally looking for a Phenom II build - b/c of price - but I'm gonna be happier knowing I got the best available vs Best I could afford. The upper level i7's werent' even in my ballpark of consideration.

Now I got to quickly learn up on Video Cards / MOBO so I can pick and order the rest of my parts and get going on my first PC build.

D'OH!!!

Well, I broke down today and ordered an i7 system.

Core i7 920

Asus P6T

OCZ Plat 3x2GB DDR3 1600 7-7-7-24

Came out to just a hair over $600 at Newegg. The price looked so low I had to buy. So I guess I will find out what stepping I have next week sometime. 3.6GHz sounds great. After reading the review on here about different i7 frequencies and efficiency, 3.6GHz is plenty.
