I7 920 D0 stepping?

[steveoooo]

Just a quick question guys, what's the difference between the D0 stepping and "regular" i7 920 and is the D0 stepping really worth the extra 20 bucks? Its probably a noob question but yeah, if anybody can help me on this I'll really appreciate it, thanks.

There is C0/C1 stepping and D0 stepping. The D0 stepping is simply a better overclocker. If you want to overclock then get the D0 if not than the C0 is fine. If you go to microcenter to buy it($200) they will give you D0 stepping for the same price.

D0 stepping is cheaper over here in the UK - in fact I'm not sure you can even get C0/C1 now.
