Stepping confusion

[streetkid]

Ok, i havent yet seen the chip, but the person i bought it from tells me this: AXDA1700DUT3C AIUGA

So i read this site

and under 1700s it says:

TBredA: If the website you're ordering from shows an order code of AXDA1700DLT3C, that's a Thoroughbred A. Update 3/28/03: It appears that from week 8 of 2003 and afterwards, there are 1.5V TBredBs with the same code.

All TBredAs have a stepping code which ends in "A," like "AIUGA."
All TBredBs have a stepping code which ends in "B," like "AIUGB."

TBredB: If the website you're ordering from shows an order code of AXDA1700DUT3C, that's a Thoroughbred B.

If you see a code like "AIUHB" that begins with the letter "A" on the second line of the processor codes, that's a high-end TBredB.

If you see a code like "JIUCB" that begins with the letter "J" on the second line of the processor codes, that's a low-end TBredB.

as you can see by the stepping i posted and the bold parts in the quote, it says i have both an A and a B.

Ok, you have a Tbred-A. Both Tbred-A's and Tbred-B's have DUT3C. But only Tbred-A's have AIUGA following DUT3C. JIUCB is definitely better than AIUGA.
