I've just bought an athlon xp3200+ for an upgrade. Its second hand and has a very slight chip of one corner of die. Would I be right in saying that a fault like this will definitely stop it working?

Cheers in advance.
 
Panic over. It would seem that a small chip, probably about 1/2 a mm, doesn't stop it from working.

Loving the upgrade, and the seller is well and truly off the hook. :-)
