A new bit of news for those using AMDs.

I bought 11 new machines for my company (AMD Duron 750s) in parts and built
them.  Two of them had bad power supplies and one of them had a bad board. I
took them back to my vendor and they replaced these parts no problem. The
problem was that the bad power supplies/boards burnt up two chips.  AMD WILL
NOT take these back RMA any more.

You can send them back and they MAY, AT THEIR DISCRETION, replace them.
However, it will take 6-8 weeks for this to occur, IF it occurs. Anyone else
run into this issue with chips overheating?
