Should I equip my MF gear before identifying items?

I wanted to know if I should equip my MF gear in order to identify magic items in order for them to yield better results, or if the items just don't show their magic properties but they are already on the item (unlike for instance, what happens with a treasure chest)

Solution 1:

Magic find only increases the chance of a higher quality item (Magic, Rare, Legendary) and does not affect the stats. After the item has dropped, magic find does not do anything; it's up to the random number generator from there.

Solution 2:

@Bashiok says:

No, identifying doesn't roll items. The item is rolled when it drops. Identifying it is just the 'opening a present' ritual.
