Guess what, I had a 500Mhz CPU in a 667Mhz system. Obviously someone
swapped the board out prior to my buying it. Another reason screen
shots are good when buying a system on eBay.
Is it acceptable if you were to share who this unethical seller is so
that we may all avoid him?
I want to see what kind of a response I get from them first. I
realized this morning I sent the email about the system to the wrong
address.
