well, my Q9450 keeps freezing up. 
good thing i have the warranty.
anyway, my questions are has anyone sent back a processor to intel before? and how did it work out. i'm wondering if they charge a new one to your credit card (you get a new one in the mail.) and then they remove the charge when they get the messed up one back from me? or do i send mine to them, and they send me a new one? i really don't want to stare at my computer for x amount of weeks.
