Run CPU-Z and check the details in the first tab.

But if you want to check it when boxed up then I know that SL6Z5's are M0 stepping - they are quite popular now (well in Sydney at least).

you don't need a 3.0C machine

buy a MachII instead and get a 4.0Ghz machine.



seriously, i don't know, I don't even know what my 3.06 is

The SL6Z3's are M0 stepping as well. I've heard the SL6Z5's are better though since they are newer, but both should offer very good OC's.

Edit: I'd check out the 2.8's as well, it will overclock just about the same as the 3.0, but will probably be significantly cheaper.
