Bought a Pentium 4? Intel may owe you $15!

Did you buy a Pentium 4 between November 20, 2000 and December 31, 2002?  Well, Intel has agreed to pay you for manipulating its benchmark scores to make their P4 seem faster than the AMD Athlons of the time!

 

"Don’t worry about digging up a receipt for the purchase — the only thing you’re required to do is list the model number of the system you bought, and you qualify for the $15 reimbursement."

You should probably specify that it's US only.

 

I just wasted 5 minutes of my time punching in my Fujitsu Siemens Scaleo 800S.

I am almost certain that this would effect more than just the US so why US only?

Because that's what the courts and Intel agreed upon.

if you have to insist you think for yourself, i'm not going to believe you.
