Hi,
I recently purchased an OEM 478-pin Intel P4 CPU from eBay, which was
described as being 'New'.
However, when I look (with my poor eyes using a magnifying glass) at the top
of the CPU, there are tiny scratches, and a fine square outline as though a
heatsink had previously been attached.
Am I right to be sceptical about the claim that the CPU is 'New', or are
such marks possible during manufacture?
Any thoughts appreciated.
