That is what I thought I was buying ... came with a C6, not a K6. I
probably would not have noticed right away if one of the fans had not come
off the CPU in shipping. We heard it rattle when we took a unit from its
box. Opened it up and saw that it had a WinChip CPU. It was a 200Mhz chip
too, not 266. Looked at all the units that arrived today ... they all had
C6 CPU's too. All previous units had the CPU that they advertized so we
thought their vendor might have slipped them some junk. Now it turns out
that they slipped them to us on purpose.

I just got email from them with an apology for not confirming with us
about the CPU switch. I don't know what to think. My personal opinion is
that if I paid for a K6-266, I should get a K6-266.
