Intel p4 warranty?

[gsiener]

Quick question-
I'm considering buying a used retail p4. The guy says he doesn't have the box, but has the paperwork (ie warranty info). I was under the impression that to get a warranty claim, you need to have the whole package (box, plastic tray, etc.). Is this true?

No, but you do need the retail heatsink & fan.

You need to be the original owner too. Intel 3-year warranty

Course they have no idea who the original owner is. All you need is the retail heatsink and the serial # on top of it.
