Ebay Item

I'm not one for spamming something that i think is wrong, but how many of you agree the following auction IS misleading to those who dont understand clock frequencies and cores?

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/5-6Ghz-Intel-D...em200052458041

Feel free to post a question to him!

Wow what a freakin' moron... People will do anything to try and better an eBay auction won't they? I think most people will be smart enough to realize that there is no such thing as a 5.6ghz P4, we can only hope.

I've noticed loads of those auctions on ebay

6ghz core2duo etc.

They must be dumb enough to add the 2 cores together. Bit of false advertising, but I bet there are some people on ebay dumb enough to think they are getting a 6ghz cpu lol

also look at this one I was watching today:

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.d...m=250056942326

cheap k800i?
