How can I authenticate a AMD 3200+ 400MHz CPU?

I'm looking for a used AMD 3200+ 400MHz Barton core CPU but what should I ask the seller to validate the authenticity of the claim. I've heard where some users unlock lower AMD models to 3200+ and sell them such, so I want to make sure what I'm buying the previous user bought from a retail box and its a true 3200+ 400MHz stock. TIA! Make sure the number on the chip label says 3200, as in AXDA3200DKV4E. I presume you are looking on ebay? Just ask the seller what the label says if he doesn't have pictures of the label. By the way, my son just sold his XP 3200+ barton on ebay for $197 so good luck in your quest for a deal. He then bought a socket 939 motherboard, a sempron 3200+ and a power supply for $160 and easily overclocked it to 2.5 GHz. If ease of installation is a concern for you and your motherboard bios supports overclocking then an XP 2500+ can be set to run at 3200+ speeds by just increasing the front side bus from 166 to 200, often times without any increase in vcore voltage.
