The only way to really check whether a part is remarked or not is to send Intel the serial numbers for checking, but many of the chip firm's channel partners - system integrators and distributors alike - are frightened to do so. Say what? All Intel processors are fused to lock the bus/internal clock ratios. Just put it in a socket and read the speed when you boot. There is no way to counterfeit this. You can change your own bus speed to increase processor speed but you know when you've done this. EP
