It is weird but someone has a buy it now price and others are just

bidding
for it, i once put a plextor cdrw on ebay and had a buy it now for £60

and
got £72 for it! All depends on how bad u want it i guess.

Right i'm thinking about making a new pc rather then just upgrade my

current
one and I was looking for another mobile cpu on ebay, but this

confused
me
unless ebay bidders really are *that* stupid.

Becuase here we have a buy it now for £52 a 2.6 ghz xp althlon mobile.

+ here we have the same cpu that people have bidded on up to £63




http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.d...6491 133&rd=1

Now the obvious difference is the pcb's of the cpus are different but

that
buy it now image doesnt look like a photo of the actual cpu.

Is there a difference in the oc'ability of these cpus? Why have people
bidded against each other for a cpu that looks as though it is almost
identical to the other for £11 more?

Cheers




Right, look @ the price of just one

I didn't pay this much for either one of the two I have.
& they were not just OEM's either.
I cant wait to have the money to finish the darn thing.
Oh, how I wish I would've went with AMD instead.
Then again, I would have to run 2003 Server just to get the 64Bit support

+
I'm not sure
on an Opteron weather or not Win2003 Server even supports 64Bit AMD
I think only for Intel Itanium support, not AMD 64.

This page seems to say by now, there's support, but is there really?
Do? With a server?
File-Server, I want to put the biggest of HD's in the system to hold big
files + so as to
re-encode files while I capture new one's.

Sorry for getting side track, if some one wants something bad enough,

the'll
pay a lot for it.
You said about a Lite On Bus Link? Most of those drives can burn the

90
& 99Min cd-r's
And ppl who want to do it, know this.
I wouldn't get rid of mine for anything.
The thing won't hit an error in Nero Overburn test @ all,,, That is,

with
a 99Min cd-r
It hits 99:58.74 or something like that, the highest setting for nero,

then
nero tells me to enter
something higher for the test.

That doesnt make sense though, because you could buy it now for less than
they are bidding for, so they have to wait longer and pay more???? Unless
the cpus have different over clock ability?
