For replacements, contact the company where you got the chip. Some places can replace them for up to 1 year. Others will do 30 days. I know that those who get it from @Once (distributor) may be able to do longer (at least that's what the say). Also rumors about AMD K6 boxed cpus coming soon too. > > Thanks, > > -Jin > > }>Ok, I got my replacement K6-200 yesterday, after the distributor tried to say > }>there was nothing wrong with the old chip (because they couldn't make it fail > }>running windoze for a couple of hours... :( > }> > }>So far, the chip is performing flawlessly.
