- I've had the same thing happen to me. I ordered a 486SX/33 from
- Expo Tech, they shipped me a system with a little label stuck on top
- of the 486 chip which prevented you from being able to read the part number.
- The label indicates you will invalidate your warranty if the label is
- broken or removed. (The motherboard appears to be clocked at 33 Mhz)
-
- A bunch of calls to their 800 number finally got someone to admit that
- they were shipping 486sx25's on their 33 Mhz systems and 486sx20's on their
- 25Mhz systems. I'm still waiting for a return number, and even if I don't get
- one, my credit card company has told me just to return it 'return receipt
- requested', and give them a copy, and they'll cancel the charge.
