This is a pretty good deal regardless if it is pretested or not. nevertheless, i got the chip today and surprise! its not even overclocked. no dashes anywhere. moreover, 3 pins were bent and i had to take some careful steps to rebend them to make it go in. working fine now, though its pretty buggy even though on a clean install.

Pctoyz probably wont respond anymore to my emails or phonecalls. so this is just a warning to anyone considering pctoyz: buyer beware.

Actualll, I think that this is the place to complain about it - it's regarding the "hot deal" that he took advantage of am I not correct? There's more to a hot deal than the price.

I have a rule. I never buy from a company that substitutes "z"s for "s"s. I do sympathize though. I dont like to see anyone get a raw deal.

But I thought we were already warned not to deal with them. Aren't they the same as that OCZ and whatever?

Thank you, eyor. And they used to have someone monitor this site to try to sell their stuff.

looks like we're on the same boat. I ordered a 950mhz duron from overclockerz store for $70 shipped, but it can only do 918Mhz!! plus, it took a long @$$ time for it to shipped. argh.............

Yep, they stink.
There is a guy around here that sells them in the F/S trade forums. Excellent rep..... ;)
