these things have been going on for so long

Exactly. It is remarking. (nothing to do with "stolen parts") Being adressed by means of packaging (multiplier-lock) a while ago. Then, when I learned about Sempron, I thought this is an invitation for remarking folks. Pretty easy to make a Sempron 2600+ out of an XP 1700+: No need to touch the multiplier. An easy bios-mod prevents from any suspicion - unless you open the case and know what to look for. Very, very few are able to discover what the chip really is.

When I read about the raid, I just thought along the line "Cui bono?"

I think its AMD. For good. 'nuff said.
