Oops... or is it?
I was so desperate to get my hands on an E6700 that I just bought the OEM one. Retail boxes not due for another month from most sellers. I forgot to check what the warranty situation is. Of course, I should have known... OEM means warranty downgraded to 1 year instead of 3.
What would you do? Would you return the OEM processor and wait another month for the retail box with its 3 year warranty... or just stop wasting yours and my time and get on with it; 12 months is enough, it'll last more than 3 years anyway? What real value do you place on that extra warranty?
I have 7 working days from Monday (14th) to return it, provided I don't use it.
Thanks in advance.
