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)
