If you want to save more money, 1.0ghz AXIA will easily make it to 1.4ghz.

If you plan to overclock, get the 1.4 almost all 1.4's can hit 1.6 with air cooling and minimal fuss, but if not, 1.33 is fine(and will pretty much do 1.46 by changing the multiplier and nothing more). Either way you are set.

How do you understand that an Athlon is AXIA or not? Is there a way to check it while buying the CPU online?

I purchased the 1.0ghz AXIA RETAIL. I overclocked it to 1.323 using the stock HSF (I can go higher if I don't mix my current RAM). Idle temps around 40 celcuis, load around 55 celcius. The stock HSF isn't all that bad. Actually the heatsink is pretty good, its the fan that sucks.
