I'm looking to buy the next fastest Athlon 64 x2 because the 6400+ is basically unobtanium. I understand that the Brisbane core 6000+ has half the L2 cache and as a result is slower, but there is apparently another low-power SKU of the 6000+ (ADA6000IAA6CZ) vs the standard 125w part (ADX6000IAA6CZ). They also have different steppings listed here:

I can't find documentation on whether they perform differently, so if someone knows the difference, please tell me before I buy the worse part. Thanks in advance.
