5.6Ghz eh? Don't seem legitimate to me. I've have seen a p4 3.2Ghz overclocked to 4.1Ghz though. It may be possible depending on what type of motherboard is in the computer and the exact Pentium D number and what type of cooling agents are INVOLVED. Even though I think this is theorically impossible.The below put me in the ROTFLMAO Position.

Q: [highlight]i noticed you have a zero feedback and didnt use actual pics even if it isnt it looks like a scam good luck though[/highlight]

Bwa! Triple flip HaHaHa!

Thank You Honvetops ,that was a completely perfect LMAO post. [smiley=thumbsup.gif]

For 1450.00 and 50.00 shipping you can be the first to see what a honest
person I really am.  BwaHaHaHa! [smiley=tongue.gif]
 
the $50.00 dollar shipping itself is a joke.Most people lie about the GHz of their processors on Ebay.
I suppose one person did it so they all did do theirs didn't seem inferior.
They normally add the clock speeds of the cores together, or use "rated speed" as "real speed", eg an Athlon 4000+ is a 4GHz Athlon if you listen to them, and a 3GHz dual core is a 6GHz CPU.
But you're right, the whole thing is a joke. Quote

Hot computer
as in stolen :-?

could not find this on the Gateway site

I agree with the others, the speed seems ridiculously high and the shipping cost is ridiculously low.

 8-)Boy, I'd sure like to have 1,024 GB of RAM!

I am going to ask if he would consider a trade for a digital projector.LOL

Hope I get a posted public answer from him.

That's 1.024Gb, as in one point zero two four gigabytes.
Still wrong though, unless he's set his RAM up very strangely.
1024Mb = 1Gb.
And by the way . . . COL at street1!Awhile back I (posted) another just like this. Morons like to double the Mgz. speed on these dual core chips.  I bet you can't wait to see this ummm  "seller" try to posh off  a 8-core chip thats coming out !!!

Let's see....   blazing speedy puter chip- rated  2,400 Mgz !!!!   [highlight]lol[/highlight] Quote

Update I did get a private message answer.LOL

Message below:BwaHaHaHa!

I would prefer the cash right now. But, thanks
for asking. I'm new to this deal, so I'm not sure
about trades.
Take care.
Chortles.
