I just purchased an a64 2800 from a forum member. His thread said that the chip was retail. However, when I got the package and opened the box the marking on the cpu was ada2800aep4ap. Is this chip oem, or retail?? He sent it in a retail box /w stock hsf as well as coa. I still feel that I got a good deal from him, but I'm just wondering.

I wasn't aware that AMD coded the chip as retail or OEM, the last time I sent one in (2700xp) they(AMD) asked for the number on the fan itself.

A64 OPN Guide:
http://www.amdboard.com/amd64_opn.html
ADA -> AMD Athlon 64 Desktop
2800 -> Speed rating
A -> 754 pin Lidded OµPGA -> Package Type
E -> 1.50V -> Operating Voltage
P -> 70°C -> Case Temp
4 -> 512KB -> L2 Cache Size
AP -> Model 4 up to 1 processor -> Part Definition (Rev C0, 754 pins)
Sounds like a retail box CPU...The OPN's are the same for OEM or Retail, they do not differentiate them.
