The Q6600 has two models though - the B3 and the G0. Both offer the same performance, but the G0 runs up to twice as cool!
It's almost impossible to find a retailer that can genuinely guarantee a G0 though, as Intel only has one order code for both versions...

I bought mine from ClubIT, and I made sure it had the correct spec number when it came. I assume if they sent a B3 stepping (SL9UM) you would be able to RMA it because they are advertising it as G0 stepping.

I'm not sure on their shipping outside the US though.
