    A UK eBay seller is selling some CF19 mk6s. In the description he says

    "Note this the mk 6 model,not mk5 panasonic discontinued very quickly due to having iissues "

    What issues are they referring to? I haven't heard of or noticed any issues on my mk5...

    Sounds like he is trying to pump up his units. It's the same board different processor.

    I thought so.

    He also lists the processor speed as "2.6 ghz x2 = 5.2 ghz"

    Yes he's full of crap. I have owned 2 MK5's. One I still own which works great and the one I sold runs a CNC cutting machine in town. If there was any problems with it I would of heard about it. Last I heard he loved it.

    I know that guy! Well not really, but he's who I bought my MK6 from. Paul I think, seemed a nice enough dude.
