I dropped the A64-3500 Winchester I had and ruined it.
Bent pins so bad, one of the pins came off.
I went to Fry's and purchased a new Venice 3500.
The stepping on this is WBBLE, I have never heard of this stepping so I don't know if it is one of the good ones or not.
I have had the cpu to 2664mhz while testing to see what the max OC I could get from it.
I am happy with the Venice, just don't know much about the number on stepping etc.
