Well, if you believe what you read on eBay anyway. 2.66GHz x 4 cores = 10.64GHz. Who writes these listings, seriously? |

Old news, mate tbh, I don't think that I'd go near ANY of these systems on ebay. They are either built by complete k**bs who don't know what they are talking about or built by complete k**bs aiming the systems at complete n00bs who don't know enough to realise that they are built by k**bs. Either way, these ads always seem to try and baffle with bull[LIFTED] and don't seem to give a simple straightforward spec. I have looked through them in the past and couldn't spot an out and out scam, but I wouldn't be surprised if the buyer gets the impression that a GTX260 graphics card is supplied when it comes with on-board graphics. |

Ebay seems not to care about these fraudulent listings. There are loads of them. |

No, they know full well what they're doing. They're relying on the people who view the listings being complete idiots and falling for their scam. |

Because the way I mean it, it is very rude. 
Yeah, it's the buyers who are the knobs  but that isn't their fault. They are prey for the predators on ebay.

Does this mean I could list my dual Xeon PC as being 9.6GHz? Two CPU's running at 2.4GHz with two cores each...

Hi, does that mean my old q6600 can be listed @18.4ghz, and yes these sort of adds should be banned. |

Could you add on the clock of the GPU to make it a 20GHz machine, or similar? |

I should go and see what the Physics Department's supercomputer is running at in the Server Room. I reckon it might just win
