o.O

I've never had a processor problem with an AMD chip, even when bought from 
some of the crappiest shops in the universe (won't name names, but they're on 
Broadway right near the 101).  K6-233, K6-III-333, Duron 750, Athlon 1200, 
Athlon XP 2000+, Duron 1600, all bought "bare CPU" style, at many different shops, 
and all worked fine.

I think a likelier culprit is that a "fine" CPU is teamed with an 
inappropriate cooler (I have two funny stories about that shop I won't name if anyone 
cares)
