I'm skeptical of these CPU's. This site claims to only sell NEW units
and these processors have been out of production for at least three
years.  The there is the warranty catch, QUOTE:
################################################################################
VERY IMPORTANT NOTICE REGARDING OUR RETURN POLICY ON CPU'S: Please note
that all processors may be returned only for defective exchange. You
must purchase a compatible heatsink and fan on the same order as the
processor in order to preserve your warranty or exchange privilege. We
are not able to accept returns for refunds on processors under any
circumstances.
###############################################################################

Dunno how much they for want heatsinks/fans (Especially since these cpus
shouldn't need them.)
