thanks for the reply
I've been reading a lot about fake athlon xp's on the market. Apparently people unlock 2500+ by tampering with the L bridges or something and sell them as 3200+.

I've compared mine with every picture in this site and doesn't match.

your AMD looks good for me but quality of pic is not good. What do you think is different to other AXDA3200DKV4E?

I don't see bridges on L
but my Burtons with 400FSB (E) are with the resistor under the die
Burtons without resistor are 333FSB (D)

If you take a closer look you can see that L4 #3#4 and L11#2 gaps are filled with a silver-mettalic lookin substance.

@isa-d: you mean the resistor below the core? I've seen other AXDA3200KV4E's without it considered to be genuine here:

Thanks again for your replies
