If you read through the link I gave you to answer you last questions, you'll find from Shimmishim
:

CG allows for you to use command clock of 2T which helps you run a gig of memory at high speeds...

CG has better memory controller than C0 and is more compatible with more ram...

especially double sided memory...

CG's in general do overclock a little better but the C0's overclock just as well in a lot of cases...

how do you find out if you got CG or C0 on an a64 chip?

wut do they stand for?

They stand for the stepping level of the processor. When AMD (or Intel) make changes to the processor, they give the processor a new "stepping level" so that you know which version it is. The CG stepping level is newer (and improved) over C0.

Supposedly, the boxed, retail version ADA3000AXBOX 3000+ is a CG, the ADA3000BOX might not be. Not sure if that is really tue or not.

You can tell the stepping level by looking at the top of the chip. There are software utilities that let you check, too.
