Anyone here done an RMA with Intel?

[Dave2]

My PIII 700 is going to be sent for warranty service to Intel this week. It would take like 5 business days to get their. Has anyone here done an RMA on an Intel CPU? How long would I be without a computer to use?

Well 3Dmark 2000 sometimes crashes on the 700 and I have to reset my computer. 3Dmark 2000 sometimes kicks me back to the desktop. I once got a blue sceen saying OE error in NVMINI when I shut down. On my Celeron 466 CPU the benchmark ran fine and the system was stable. Should have kept the Celeron 466 as a backup instead of selling it. I have Crucial PC133 CAS 2 memory and memory is not the problem. Ever since I had this P3 700 my system wasn't totally stable. Now I narrowed the problem to the P3 700. With the Celeron 466 my system is rock stable.
