This group is filled with much expertise and most participants are MORE than 
willing to help in anyway they can.  I've seen them give students answers to 
their homework, and give engineers help with debugging and overcoming design 
hurdles.   The only thing any of the aforementioned SME's expect is that 
those posting questions would be polite, truthful, and professional. 
There's a wealth of knowledge on this board that is made available to anyone 
earnestly seeking answers.

There's an old proverb which says that "a wise man will hear, and will 
increase learning, and a man of understanding shall attain unto wise 
counsels".  You've done properly by contacting this group (wise counsel), 
but unless you are willing to HEAR and listen to that wisdom you're nothing 
more than a fool.

Here's a piece of advice: stay humble, don't react when filled with emotion, 
and be willing to take criticism.

Just FYI: it qualifies him as someone whose first language wasn't English, making him particularly sensitive to the issues faced by those who try to communicate on this board with an excellent written word but who miss the more subtle meanings in these newsgroup communications and in technical documentation.

You want me to be polite, going by this answer. My first language is none of your business, this remark could qualify you as something, I won't say to save you the embarassment.

As per usual in this news group when people don't get their way they become cinical.

From earlier, referring to the link http://www.xilinx.com/xlnx/xil_ans_display.jsp?iLanguageID=1&iCountryID=1&getPagePath=1067

I asked if you looked at Solution2 for that Answer record. By the "I couldn't find it no matter *how* hard I looked tone in your response, I figured you had trouble connecting simple images and phrases with the information being conveyed. I thought that if I cut & pasted the quotes for the 10C value USED IN THE ILLUSTRATION IN THE ANSWER RECORD that you would obviously get confused. So I requoted the text to show the "7C" you have on your part. I only mentioned the "10C" to avoid having you say that the text I quoted wasn't in the Answer record. Additionally, the xc9536 data sheet on page 7 http://direct.xilinx.com/bvdocs/publications/ds064.pdf shows the device marking explicitly calling out the "Speed" number. You appear to not bother 1) read the data sheet, 2) read the answer record that was provided to you as a link, and/or 3) prefer to have everything handed to you in such an outrageously clear fashion that a third generation tropical island castaway would understand what the marking on the device meant. We helped. You returned, helpless. You complained. Have you considered herb farming for a career?

Maybe English is not your native language:
The little word "and" at the beginning of the sentence changes a
slightly pestering question to an obnoxious statement.
If you are as ignorant in this technology as you seem to be, it would
be wise to be more polite.
Any answer you get here from anybody is because we want to be helpful.
Keep that in mind!

<snip> 7 ns, Commercial grade. Changing the "10C" to "7C" in the illustration to match your part would make the following text applicable: Line 4 Device speed grade (7) and temperature range (C). If a grade is not marked on the package, the product is considered commercial grade. In addition to the mark shown above, Line 4 can contain a few other variations as described below: 7C xxxx The "xxxx" indicates the SCD for the device. An SCD is a special ordering code that is not always marked in the device top mark. 7CES The "ES" indicates an Engineering Sample (as opposed to a production device). 7CESn The "n" is a numeral (1, 2, 3, etc.) The "ES" indicates an Engineering Sample, the "n" indicates an ES revision code. For example, ES1, ES2, ES3, etc. Please see Errata for appropriate information. To obtain Errata, you must register for MySupport, see (Xilinx Answer 21491). 7CESnL or 7CESnR This part marking is used only for Virtex-4 FX engineering sample devices. The "L" indicates that only left (column 0) MGTs are available and the "R" indicates that only the right (column 1) MGTs are available when looking at the device from the "bottom-up."

Did you actually look at Solution2?

You may not be using Virtex-4 but the rest of the lines appear verbatim 
correct to your description.
