A8N-E and Athlon64 processor stepping



I'm after an Asus A8N-E and a Athlon64 3000 Venice. Looking at the AMD
website in the Athlon64 section, I am asked for model number, socket
number and also processor stepping. For the Athlon64 3000 90nm socket
939, I have the choice of processor steppings D0, E3 and E6. What do
these values mean?
