The last Duron 1.6GHz I bought looks suspicious to me. I remember a news not too long ago about remarked Duron CPUs. Could someone please tell me where to find pictures comparing a fake and a legitimate Duron 1.6GHz? There are obvious signs of thermal paste on the core and the characters on the marking are somewhat blurry. If it would be an Athlon XP, I could tell, but I haven't seen many recent Duron chips so it's harder to determine.

If it is indeed a remarked chip, I'll send the hell on the reseller and I don't let them go until they fill bankruptcy.

It's ok, I've had visions. I compared the label to the one posted at X-bit Labs and the characters are similar.
