I hope someone can answer this question..

I have just bought an Athlon XP 1900+ and am concerned that there are no obvious distinguising marks on the chip to prove it's identity. The chip arrived un-boxed in a bag.

Can anyone tell me what I should be seeing on the chip to reassure me that it's the real-deal ??

Thanks

Andy

Note! Reference to the CPU's speed should be mentioned in the first string of numbers under the title on chip.
