For real. As an example, when I bought my 755Cs direct from IBM, I spent an extra couple of 00$ to get the DX4/75 over the DX2/50 (even though the difference was slight). The day after receiving the machine, I was looking at qconfig and the TP features program and noticed the system reported the 50 mHz chip!

It took talking to 4 different people at IBM (2 hours) to convince them of this. At least when they finally acknowleged it, they didn't make me send back the first one before shipping the correct machine.

(I'm just lucky, perhaps, judging by the horror stories posted today...)
