Nope, it's a Barton 2.2GHz alright:

It's legit

Look at the first group of numbers (model #) on your chip then compare it to the one in the picture.... You have not been had. You got what you paid for...

ok numbers look good,I go on amd site to the numbers and look at the picture,and I see a small chip on both the top and the bottom of the center die.On the cpu show above I only see 1 small chip above the center Die?? I can't find 1 picture on the internet,that shows a 3200+ Xp Barton 400mhz socket 462 that has just 1 of these small chips above the Die,like the one I have.They all have 2 small chips one above and one below the center Die?

Dont go buy the AMD site pics...CPU designs change all the times...I had a brown 3200 and a Green 3200...

I would still check it. When I bought a 3200+, it turned out that the person had somehow replaced the sticker on the chip. It was actually a 2800+...quite a few people complained when they didn't receive the proper chip.
Mine looked completely legit, nothing out of place until I fired it up.

ok,will fire it up in a day or so.was concerned weather or not it was a fake.looked like a decent chip,but it looked different from all 3200 pics I've seen on internet,mainly the little chip above the Die.There's only 1 compared to 2 on all pics I've seen.Thank's for the help.
That sucks. Do you have another chip you can try in your motherboard, or do you have another motherboard you can try with this chip? What kind of motherboard, RAM, and PSU are you using with this setup?
Then again looking at the picture, that core looks beat.

Looking at the picture of the chip you posted above the core looks chipped on a few corners and on the sides. I think he/she sold you a bum chip.
