I take it you are referring to the chips with the Thoroughbred B core?

The easiest way to tell a Barton from a Thoroughbred B core, is that the Assembled in Mayalaysia will be on the edge of the CPU, opposite AMD logo. The throughbred has the Assembled in Mayalaysia on the side of the AMD chip.

Who is selling these old chips? Are they trying to pass them off as Bartons? Are they cheap at least? It would be best if you post who it is, to forewarn everyone else, especially if they are trying to pass them off as Barton Core chips.
