Hmmm... I'm buying a computer at forcom for a friend one of these weeks, maybe i should ask. It could never hurt. : )

One question: the warranty papers are not filled out by the shop (serial number should be written on it), does it matter? Could anyone with a boxed AMD checkl whether his warranty papers are filled out?

if i remember correctly , the papers of a 2400+ boxed bought @ tones were not filled in. ( we lost them also , so i can't check it)

ff schaamteloos geript van t0n3s:

AMD
lees ook deze belangrijke informatie
Garantie: 3 jaar carry-in (GEEN GARANTIE VOOR NON-BOXED PROCESSOREN)
DAO omruil: niet mogelijk (enkel rechtstreeks bij AMD)
Procedure: boxed AMD processoren kunnen rechtstreeks bij AMD omgeruild worden. Tel. RMA-dienst +44 127 6803187

perhaps I could try this:

DAO omruil: niet mogelijk (enkel rechtstreeks bij AMD), let's try to send it to AMD

:banana:

ah crap,

I just bought an a64 3000+ boxed cpu. Installed it, booted and guess what my K8V said?

Yes: "System failed cpu test"....blabla

darn, am I having really bad luck with my cpu's or is this mobo FUBAR?

prolly mobo :)

well know you do!
the Mobo is kaput!

indeed.
what did you do with the other A64 ?
I hope you didn't broke it with a hamer :)
