about bean's gripes on manufacturers' ruse 2 sell earlier chipsets when they claim it's new, well it isn't new. some 3rd party manufacturers do that. so it's best 2 get from reliable manufacturers & if u still don't trust them much, u can always use benchmark softwares(sisoft sandra, onion's 3dmark) that can detect the chipset which the markings are hidden from view by the passive heatsink.

heck, might as well throw in another friendly warning especially for asian consumers: be wary of shops that sweet talk u 2 buy stuf from them. some shitty ones will have u eat from their hands & once they get your money, u better pray nothing breaks. there are shops that do not believe in consumer rights.

wish i can throw elemental hail on them ice holes.
