Core 2 Duo: how to know the stepping?

[Ignacio49]

Hello

Can you tell the stepping (and revision?) of your C2D processor with the information in the box - how?

Thanks

Download CPU-Z and run it. I think it tells you all that information. Mine says stepping 6 and revision B2.

Thanks. I want to know prior to installing the processor.
I have changed my question to reflect that.

see the "SL94Y" on the heatspreader?

go to intel's site and search for that.. which is imo, the true "stepping"
it should tell you which stepping revision from there. for example, my search turns up this page:
http://processorfinder.intel.com/details.aspx?sspec=sl94y

"Core Stepping: B1"

Thank you Eclipse.

C2D E6300, 6400, 6600 and 6700...all are B2 stepping.
I guess there are variations, but they are not mentioned.

if they have similar production weeks, that makes sense anyhow
