   No. In fact, you are given a choice: Intel will either send you a written
lifetime guarantee that the chip you currently have will be replaced at no
charge if it has any defects -or- they will replace the part immediately. I
was just informed that Intel has pulled people from marketing and other
departments to help in customer service and is seeking to hire 200 additional
customer service reps for the next 3 months...I wonder why. :-)
   The telephone number to order your replacement chip is (800) 628 8686.
