My supplier of AMD products was a little concerned when I recently returned a 1.4 TBird. He asked if I ran it @default settings and I assured him of course I did. The 1.4 was one that AMD sent me to replace a 1.2 that died of unknown causes. I can understand his suprise ,as I had just picked it up 2 weeks prior.
No cracks, chips or burns, so I still claim I'm innocent of proccessor abuse.
