yeah, then everybody would buy a 500 mhz athlon, and how is amd going to sell its higher end chips? The fact is that AMD did not give permission for the vendor to do ANYTHING to the resistors, cache, whatever. AMD just gives those chips to the vendor, and the vendor's job is to sell it, not change its natural configuration. It hurts AMD's business.
Also I'm not talking about the people who clearly say this is an overclocked athlon, they're okay. The people who actually remark the codes without telling the customer are those who should get smacked, even if the chips are capable of higher speeds, the vendor has no right to make it a higher speed without AMD's permission.
