I've still got a counterfeit Athlon XP, IIRC a 2500 marked up to appear to be a 3200. I was able to get a refund for the fraudulent part from the credit card processor. Interestingly, AMD offered to send me a replacement, but NOT a 3200, which was top of the line at the time. I kept the counterfeit chip instead. Like the author of this article, I had some performance problems with the part, but I was sure I had a fake when I looked at the printing on the package of the chip.
