Hey guys, it's the anything particular I should look for to avoid engineering sample chips?

On, ebay, the seller will generally say ES/QS in the title/description. Also, If they say it is 'OEM' or 'retail' then it is not ES/QS. If in doubt, ask them.

I don't know how to tell via markings on chip, but perhaps google will help with that...

Found this one on Amazon. Good point I'll ask.

As I don't know (and i'm sure other people won't either) what difference does it make???

OS X does not work with ES/QS CPUs.
