Have I been conned?

Is it in a box like this:



If you only have the CPU without the cooler then you got conned but the price difference isn't very much.

Yeah, that's what I have. It's supposed to be a Toledo. The box is unopened and still has the AMD seal. The box is heavy so I assume it contains the heatsink and fan.


Skizo,

I won the CPU from eBay.com and had it shipped to the UK. I don't want to pay another $60 to have it shipped back. The seller has alot of positive feedback. I'm not sure if the CPU I've been sent has overclocking issues. If this 4800+ is inferior to other one's then I can simply auction what I have atm. I did a Google search on the CCBWE 0538 stepping code but I couldn't find anything.

Maybe here.

are you reading the part # from the box?
or from the CPU itself?

you know what, forget it....
if you don't want it, I'll take it off your hands....free of charge

That part number is purely for the unboxed chip.

That would seem to confirm what others have suggested, namely that you've read that off the chip itself rather than the box.

Yeah, I read that off the chip. I can't see the a part number on the box anywhere. Hopefully I can do some serious cooling and hit 3GHz with it.

So a dual core 4800+ isn't fast enough for you without overclocking?

What are you doing with it?

IMO you shouldn't be overclocking that if you can't even identfy what you have.
