Why You Should AVOID Intel Core 2 Engineering Samples Rev. 4.1
Everyone loves Intel ES (Engineering Sample) processors, don't they? They used to be very limited units used within Intel and sent to select (lucky) reviewers. For years, everyone has been chasing for these processors since they used to have their multipliers unlocked. Now, that's an overclocker's wet dream come true!

Ouch!

So if you buy, or are fobbed off with, an engineering sample, you could be getting a CPU that has been thrashed to within an inch of its life, or maybe beyond that.
