Thanks for the link! I just bought two similar processors from the same seller, and then noticed the picture is the same:

I hope all of them are ES chips.

I hope so, because in his other links he notes that the processor is "unlocked" with an S-Spec of :Q****, and on this one it doesn't look like he did that. If it's not an ES, I'm screwed. And you're double screwed

well one auction says:

You are bidding on a pair of the pictured Xeon 1.5GHz CPU's.

the other one though doesnt mention anything about pictures

so gshv would be well within his rights to file a buyer dispute for a 'not as described' item if he wanted..

chipcollector tho, youre pretty much screwed. still, a xeon for $22 isnt a bad price?

[chipcollector]

Skold,

You are bidding on a Xeon 1.5GHz CPU

It means the same thing as if you say "You're bidding on the item pictured". What you win is that item, but does it say that exact item? Nay

[chipcollector]

ALSO!!!!

"Dear sycom,

yes you are receiving the unlocked version."

I sent him a question as soon as I bought it ( In the payment note )

[skold]

no

if someone puts a picture of an engineering sample, and says 'youre bidding on the pictured cpu', theyre implying that youre bidding on an engineering sample

using the same car analogy, if someone posts a picture of a 2002 jetta tdi, and you can see the tdi badge in the picture, and when you go to pick up the car you find out its gas, not deisel, those are entirely not the same thing, even if the cars look identical.

[skold]

yea, thats why you should email the seller

if you filed a dispute over it though im pretty sure ebay would come out in your favor. an ES is going to be worth more than a normal version of the chip.

Here's a good example of what I'm trying to get at

http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=6760054327&rd=1&sspagename=STRK%3AMEWN%3AIT&rd=1

It says at the very bottom
(The pictures is representational of the real item, but not of the actual item.)

How would you read something like that? There's a picture of a very rare amd Slot A CPU, and it literally says it's of the real item but NOT of the actual item.

That's like someone using another persons picture because they don't have a camera; but really, you're getting something completely different even though it says it represents the real thing

But nonetheless, I showed you the reply of the seller and I am indeed receiving an ES
