Indeed.........the guy has sold two motherboards before, so must have some idea on computer prices.

Thats just ridiculous!

Just wait till he checks his e-mails, sent him a link to a much cheaper one at scan

Reported him for misleading description aswell, in the description it says 10 meg!

Meh, I just report things like this for whatever policy they violate, in this case, misleading or inappropriate title since quad core doesn't mean you get a 9.6Ghz processor

[excalibur2]

Well if enough people complain/report to Ebay.........................................

[directhex]

thing it, much as we mock.......


......there's SOME merit to just multiplying like that


if each core is capable of a certain number of calculations (on paper), and you hae X cores, then, on paper, it DOES simply come out to "multiply these numbers together"

the fact that most user apps on the desktop won't attain the direct speedup is the apps' fault, not the cpu

ya mean the guy could be a sorta budding Isaac Newton in that when the apple fell on his head he thought of gravity........................ :-)

So should we also say that because the core 2 can in certain situations perform four instructions per clock (compared to K8s three) that actually it's a 38.4ghz processor?

38.4 GFLOPs

and K8 is 2 (K10 is 3)

That's nothing - I used to have a Athlon 2500 Barton that could do 8GHz on only one core...



(First used this a few years ago on one of those threads with folks bragging about their overclocks)

[r_j_k_p]

lol nice !
i wish i had that athlon

That's a classic!

[iranu]

It certainly is. Thanks for making me laugh.

At the bottom there's a "Report this Item" link that takes you to a complicated series of forms.
