Caution!!!

I purchased a new Intel P5-200MMX processor in July of 1997 and it is
now November and my processor has gone bad.  This is the problem:

Don't purchase an Intel processor from any mail order company that is
not a certified Intel distributor.  Intel will not warranty a processor
unless it was purchased through an Intel certified distributor.

I paid 297.00 for it with a 30 day guarantee it is not an oem chip and I
am stuck with a useless processor this is a 300.00 learning experience. 
I hope this helps any one who is trying to purchase a processor make
sure you ask them about the warranty and get it in writing buy a
motherboard and processor you usually get an extended warranty if you
buy both.  Don't buy because it is cheaper you will pay in the long
run...believe me...
