shard · Jul 6, 2005

ok, i just got my new 2800+ A64 and i was realy happy that i was getting a newcastle, but i get it and it has this on it

ADA2800AEP4AP
CAAOC 0512VPMW
1237277D50222

isnt that a claw? if so, i am royaly ****ed, its even in the newer newcastle boxes

somebody set me strait

Flip-Mode · Jul 6, 2005

According to this it is infact a Clawhammer with half the cache disabled.

if its working in the board, then run cpu-z and see what it says

shard · Jul 6, 2005

well i was just talking to @md0cer and he says it might be a disabled FX-53

the only thing that throws me, is the date, i thought quit making claws back in october?

Quattro · Jul 6, 2005

Perhaps you shouldn't be annoyed and we should be annoyed if you have got infact an FX-53!

shard · Jul 6, 2005

no complaints, i have to go to work tonight, but i am getting up bright and early to start hammering at this all

The Coolest · Jul 6, 2005

Really sorry to disappoint you, but its not just a ClawHammer, its a C0 clawhammer, which is a lot worse than a new castle.
If you were buying from newegg, and specifically had ordered a chip with ADA2800AXBOX, then you can return the chip as that's not what you've recieved.

OC Detective · Jul 6, 2005

I think @md0cer is confusing the "AP"s with the 3500+ "AS" (which were potentially cache disabled FX53's). The Coolest has it right on the money.

LOL good luck w/ that Pat, hope you can get into CPU-Z and figure out what it is, and hopefully get newegg to get you the right one.

shard · Jul 7, 2005

but how? the week is what is realy screwy, i could have sworn they quit making them back in october.

please someone explain the date, so i can decide on wether to keep this or not

OC Detective · Jul 7, 2005

That is an assembly date they may have stopped fabbing them but it doesnt mean there are no stocks sitting at the Malaysian assembly plant. Exactly the same situation as mobile Bartons which are still appearing with 2005 asembly dates.

ok then, i shall send it back, just ****es me off that this happened to me, first time buying new stuff, and i need it all for next weekend, any idea on how fast newegg is with RMA's?

It will take at least a week for replacements, and even that is a bit of an understatement. You'd be better served just buying the replacing flat out and going for an RMA refund.

pm that newegg guy i bet he could hook you up.

shard · Jul 7, 2005

i just did, i tried to not let any of my anger bleed through. but its hard, i needed this for next week, but i guess its shard's luck, if it aint one thing, its another one trying to screw me over

Drec · Jul 7, 2005

you'll be happy in the end...arn't you going from a little celly to this?

shard · Jul 7, 2005

yeah, but still, i dont like having my money taken away for stuff that i didnt order, i was planning on having this new rig up and running by the 13th, so i could have a great vacation. ugh

Drec · Jul 7, 2005

well maybe the newegg guy can work out a cross ship or somthing.

shard · Jul 7, 2005

i am praying so, i am not mad at them, i am mad that i got screwed at the worst possible time. i just want them to set this right, and reconsile their mistake, by doing something like that, or overnight shipping back
