LAST CHANCE!
I seem to have a replacement C2D E8400 chip in my possession.
Yes, I do have a machine that continues to believe it only has 1 core.
Fine. Done all the fixes. As Thane would say, this machine is ready
for a 'Wash.' This is not a problem at all. The machine is/was a
'test' machine.
It will be the 1st new 'test' machine I build. No harm, no foul.
No, I did never erase/rebuilt the WinXPsp3 OS. I am sensetive to the List.
No matter. Moving forwardnow.
My trouble is I did not ORDER it!
I did not PAY anything for it!
And, the folks that sent IT to me do NOT respond to my asks for
information. Fine.
Am I strange? Maybe.
One last chance to find my magic elf!
Whomever it may be, Thank You.
Sorry. It will never be tried/used.
This machine will be rebuilt into a machine that Greg already finds lame.
Fine. Life goes on.
I'm just trying to close the books on 2012.................... :)

Do I owe someone on this LIST for some help?
I do not know.
On 9/15/12 I raised an order with Amazon for a replacement C2D E8400.
This offer was for a retail, boxed, cpu w/hs-fan. Fine.
Today, I still wait for this order to arrive.
However, on 9/16/12, ?someone? placed an order with:
PCBOX
11600 Alondra Blvd, F30
Norwalk, CA 90650-7010
I did get a USPS envelope from this company. It contains a BULK C2D E8400,
a tube of 'thermal paste', and, a packing slip/invoice for $124.99.
I received this order via the USPS on 9/19/12.
WHO DO I THANK FOR THIS??????
