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. -Dave
