Especially outside yhe largest countries, it's often hard to find replacement parts for computers that are a older than the current generation.
What's the counterfeit situation with chips that can be installed in computers post factory? Cloning a GPU or a PCI card that requires vendor-specific drivers would actually require copying the chip instead of substituting with another one in the same product category for the genuine driver to work. Can we still expect PCI cards to be genuine if the genuine driver works? What about RAM, which doesn't require vendor-specific drivers?
- Spooky23 8y agoI met with the representative from a major OEM a few years ago on a realtes topic. His position was that any new part that began manufacturing in Chinese partner factories was in competitor factories within hours and unauthorized or counterfeit parts were available in 30 days. If you have a use case where genuine article is important, there are companies that you can use to inspect and certify the parts or systems immediately after import.
