The metal clips holding the CPU circuit card showed signs of having been opened and reclosed, and some resistor pads (R121, R147, R158) on the circuit card showed clear traces of removal or resoldering. The cores were marked K7650, indicating that the original AMD CPU was probably an Athlon 500 since many of these CPUs were produced with 650 MHz cores. And you wonder why AMD was writing mean letters a couple of months ago to shops that opened cases and overclocked the chips.... Sheesh...I guess the silver lining is that somebody WANTS to counterfeit Athlons. <g> -Scot
