Your Uni probably has Viglen kit all over the place, and probably has

Used to. Not any more. Dell, mainly.


Pardon me for asking, but... are you based in UEA ??

Ah, OK. Was asking cos UEA used to have Viglen kit and now changed to Dell.

And it happened the same to you... wonder if Dell bribed?

Is it a boxed (retail) CPU and do you have the original packaging? If the
answer to either is no then you're probably out of luck.

Somehow doesn't seem right that you would want to make a few more £'s at
Intel's expense...

I have a faulty P III 1Ghz CPU that I have aquired as part of a clearance.
I
have heard that Intel unlike AMD do try and look after their customers and
normally replace CPUs.

Does anyone have any expereince of this?

Who says you need original packaging? Intel certainly did not when i
returned a slot 1 p300 retail (got back a slot1 p400} They have
different serial numbers (retail and OEM that is )!!!
