P4-1.6A Malay or Costa Rica?

[Spydc]

I just recieved my p4 1.6a from newegg.com today. I haven't opened the packaged, so I was wondering if anyone can tell where it is from.

Prod code: BX80532PC1600DSL668
MM# 844085
FPO/Batch# H302012W
Pack Date: 01/24/02

Isnt there a sticker that shows where it was manufactured?

It doesn't say the place on the outside of the box. Just a sticker with those codes.

It only says where it is from on the chip itself.
I got mine at Newegg also, and from what I can remember, the batch # and the date seems to be the same as mine, and mine is from Costa Rica.

I had problems overclocking it above 130MHz FSB. But after some modifications and work, i got it upto 150Mhz. It will boot into windows2000 at that speed but will give errors in Prime95.

so right now I have it at 133MHz FSB and prime95 running for about a half day now.

Looking through the database at Overclockers.com, it would appear that the CPUs with FPO's starting with H's or L's are from Malay. The ones starting with 3 are from Costa Rica.

It doesn't mean a thing however -it's the same crap shoot no matter where your chip is from... (But it is nice to find people with the same FPO, so you can see what you *might* be able to expect form the chip.)

My sticker says L147B206 Packaged on Jan 16, 2002 AND Made in Malaysia. Otherwise everything is the same. I can't understand why the sticker does not have where it is packaged. Something is not right there or maybe they have decided to stop doing that since it may affect sales.

Some packages have no mfg on the sticker.
My package form newegg has nothing, malay on the chip.
