It's the coppermine core, 4th revision of the die.
If you're going dual, save yerself a whole hell in itself and just buy two new ones.
As for overclockability, the cD0's will probably be better then cB0's.
However, it depends on which CPU you have, some OC better than others.

Not actualy 'help', but I can tell you that my cB0 500E can get to 750MHz fine [5x150]. At which point, my RAM starts to take a crap, and I get a little bit of system instability, so I run at 700MHz.
