Yeah they got these malaysian sweat shop workers that reopen the chip in some dank dusty factory made out of bamboo then they rewire it by hand............


Note:

90% of the time refurb=used. It's a crime that stores can pervert the term the way they have.
 
refurbished just means , used and tested to new specifications.

seeing as there are no moving parts on a cpu , any used cpu can be called refurbished.

this isnt a bad deal if you already have an opteron board. i could imaging someone who got say a opteron 140 when they first came out, getting a huge speed boost getting this (1.4 ghz vs. 2.4 ghz after all). say you have already spend the cash on an sk8n and a bunch of ecc reg ram (we have a bunch of these at my work)

socket 940 chips are harder to find at these speeds, so not bad at all of a deal.


you can get socket 939 new 4000 chips for about this, so i dont think its too hot for a new system.
 
Probably one someone bought planning to OC the heck out of it, found out that the one they got didn't OC worth a darn and then came up with some BS excuse to return it to Newegg. At stock speeds it probably works just fine, though.
