Possible to identify a stolen processor?

[CChri20]

Hi,

I was offered a 4960x processor in sealed box.

Is it possible to check where this processor was bought or if it was stolen?

regards,

Chris

The only way to determine if the processor is legit would be checking if the processor was purchased from Intel authorized distributors.

There is a list of dealers around your area: http://locate.intel.com/ http://locate.intel.com/If the price of the processor is too good; be careful. Try getting processor from authorized distributors.Allan.
