Bill: Intel for a time was forced to sell high speed parts as low speed because their bin splits were making very good fast parts. That meant that they had to undermark fast chips and sell them as slow parts to avoid losing that share to AMD. Now if the parts are truly fast parts that Intel falsely marked as slow parts, then who is the counterfeiter? Ahhh well! That's very simple! The remarker. No buts about it. If they should so want, they can actually easily legally sell the Intel chips overclocked, while fully disclosing this fact to the customer and covering the warranty (since the Intel warranty is, of course, void). What they cannot do is claim that they are selling a non-overclocked chip and try to thrust the warranty burden on Intel. ;-) -fyo
