It is further alleged that on or about 30 Dec 2005 21:48:43 -0800, in
alt.comp.hardware.pc-homebuilt, the queezy keyboard of
teknowbabble@xxxxxxxxx spewed the following:
|Id like to know what people think of "New Pull" hardware.
|
|Ive been shopping around for an older Intel P4 Northwood CPU.
|
|The CPU Ive been looking for Ive seen advertised as a "New Pull" OEM.
|
|As far as I can tell "New Pull" means Used. Of course retailers like to
|say its "like brand new" or been barely used and of course they dont
|want to quantify "how used" these CPU's are.
|
|What has your experience been with these items?
|
|Basically you have 7 days from the invoice to verify it works to get
|your money back. That basically means you have 1 or 2 days to stick it
|on your board since UPS ground takes up to 5 days.
|
|Is there Free BENCHMARK software you can use to run a CPU through its
|paces to verify its running OK? Anything you would recommend?
There are lots of benchmarking programs out there.

Whetstone is good, as is PCMark and CliBench mk III smp all freeware.
|
|Are there any online charts to compare benchmark results against?
|
|Whats your experience been with OEM hardware and Warranties?
|
|Ive seen online information saying the Intel OEM CPU's are warrantied
|from 30-90 days. Ive also seen information saying that Intel OEM CPU's
|are not warrantied unless you send a matching heat sink and fan along
|with the CPU. Is this True?
|
|This is my first build so Im trying to figure out whats what.
FWIW, the warranty time is usually exclusive of the shipping time. If
something is not right with whatever you buy, you usually have x
number of days to contact the vendor and get an RMA. If you have any
questions regarding possible returns, you should contact the vendor
before you buy and ask them to state their return policy on the
invoice.
If the "new pull" CPU you were looking at was here:

are a reputable company.

One night at Cheers, Cliff Clavin explained the "Buffalo Theory?
to his buddy, Norm. "Well ya see, Norm, it's like this. A herd
of buffalo can only move as fast as the slowest buffalo. And when
the herd is hunted, it is the slowest and weakest ones at the back
that are killed first. This natural selection is good for the herd
as a whole, because the general speed and health of the whole group
keeps improving by the regular killing of the weakest members. In
much the same way, the human brain can only operate as fast as the
slowest brain cells. Excessive intake of alcohol, as we know,
kills brain cells. But naturally, it attacks the slowest and weakest
brain cells first. In this way, regular consumption of beer
eliminates the weaker brain cells, making the brain a faster and
more efficient machine! That's why you always feel smarter after
a few beers.
