Tech watch just shot this out describing some fake Athlons floating around Australia.... Here is the entire message:
Dear All,
I have some bad news to spoil your weekend - it seems like fake Athlons have hit Australia, and atleast one of TechWatch's readers has personally recieved a fake. More worrying is the fact that the reader only very recently purchased their Athlon:
"This is some very bad news - thanks to Tim for alerting us. Rather than paraphrase, I will just quote his email:
"Well it looks like they [fake Athlons] have hit Australia I just recieved my K700 in perth and have opened it up to put the cold plate on it and to my horror the cpu is a 650... the resistor has been changed and serial numbers do not match..."
The rest of the story is at: http://www.techwatch.com.au (front page).
I am trying to get some photos, so I will alert you all if I do.
Kind Regards,
Lucien Wells.
