- Thanks to all the people who responded, to summarize for the others:
- It seems that I have been ripped off because the vendor pushed the
- chip beyond its rating, that is, 8 Mhz faster than it was tested for.
- There is a wide range of opinions on whether or not I should be
- worried about this. Some people asserted that it would kill my chip
- soon while others claimed that Intel makes ALL its chips for 33Mhz,
- and only tests the ones at 33Mhz if it plans to sell them at 33Mhz.
- The rest are tested at lower clock rates. This would imply that if the
- chip works at 33Mhz, then it is just as good as 33Mhz.
- However, I don't appreciate being lied to and taken advantage of.
- I intend to pursue this matter with MOTHERBOARD WAREHOUSE, the slimy
- outfit that pulled this crap on me.
- Dont give them any business.
