    Hey everyone,

    I am looking for your opinions. Check out this deal on ebay.

    All the signs say not to buy but I have not had much experience with ebay. Any advice would be great. Thanks.

    I asked if there was any warranty left and he replied 1 Year from April 13/09. Is there a way I can confirm this with dell?

    What other sort of questions should I be asking?

    Question about RAM.

    How does the 667MHz compare to 800 or 1066MHz. Will this slow down games/surfing/applications considerably?

    There isnt a big difference between 800 mhz and 1066 mhz. I thnink the difference will be noticeable between the 667mhx and 1066mhz though.

    lol

    I asked him a few questions (pic with sig, service tag number) and he didnt respond. Must not have been legit or he decided not to sell on ebay.
