Francis - Re: "publication c't to detect whether a computer
contains one of the dubious chips has turned up
more problems domestically than anywhere
else. In the first three days of testing, c't has
confirmed 72 instances of counterfeit--or
"remarked"--300-MHz Pentium IIs worldwide. Of
those, 42 were found in the United States.

Germany had the second largest number of
fake Pentium IIs, with 21 confirmed reports,
according to Christian Persson, the magazine's
editor. Fake chips have also been reported in
Israel, the Netherlands, Russian, Spain,
Norway, and the United Arab Emirates. "

Wow!

An epidemic!

72 counterfeit chips!

At least the crooks know enough to counterfeit INTEL chips!
