I am going to buy my i7 next monday at microcenter. I just tonight started hearing things about batch numbers. What is good, what is bad? How do I ask for a specific batch or what do I even look for? I have no idea, i've searched the forum but all I can find is people looking for a "d0" but i dont see "d0" in the batch numbers im looking up....i see something like 3837A909 ........


Help me buy the right thing!

I doubt you could buy anything but a D0 at Micro Center even if you wanted. They've refreshed their entire stock so many times that they're all D0 at this point.

There's no use worrying about the batch number. It's not like every single chip from a given batch performs identically well (or poorly).
