Default CPU warranty of 90 days...typical?

My first Intel Pentium 4 CPU failed after
about 10 months. I ordered another one from
a different vendor and this time couldn't
help but notice the notation "Warranty 90
days" on the sales order confirmation.
Have I been on another planet since warranties
became so short? Anyway, damned if the this
one hasn't failed after about 11 weeks.
The vendor charged $48 for the CPU. Am
I getting (no more than) what I
paid for? Advice welcomed.

If you want a longer warranty then quit getting oem cpu's.
