    On the X7800 chip, the ES (engineer sample) for the 6831FX is compatible right.

    I ordered one off of ebay, and got the message from the seller saying that it was an ES chip.

    So should I tell him to continue with the transaction?

    yes its compatible. ask him to lower the price 10%, if he brings up something in middle of the transaction. remember to get good paste.

    well he told me that if he put the CUP-Z with the (ES) on it, EBAY would have taken down the picture.

    So he put up the regular version of CPU-Z.

    He did e-mail me right away after i won the bid, and paid him.

    but thank you for your reply.
