What a pervert!

Dave

If you people are going to hijack a thread and start babbling
could you at least change the damned header so I and others
don't waste any more time checking for useful responses.

Danke

and did you get one from them that actually works? I'm in the middle of a
situation here that I'll hold my tongue on until I see how "stand-up" the
guy is on his product...

I won't be able to test this one for a while, as I'm still shopping
memory for the IC7-G. (It's down to either OCZ One or Corsair
3200XL. I'd like to get modules with Samsung's 5ns TCCD chips,
but they're out of reach financially for a few more weeks.)

Warranty is everything when buying a cpu from ebay. I've found
private parties are usually more willing to offer a decent guarantee,
as opposed to businesses who either offer just a DOA warranty
or none at all.

well, the situation is that the CPU I got, a 3.0 Ghz, would boot to the bios
setup but would not allow a system that was working 5 minutes before to boot
beyond the initial stages of showing the OS splash...

the guy says he will replace it and apologizes for the inconvenience so,
assuming that he lives up to that...

Did you double check your bios settings, e.g. AGP/PCI buss
speeds, memory timings etc?
