Core 2 Quad Q9300 + BluRay + Striker II PC for sale on ebay.

ThatGuy16 · 04-01-2008, 08:02 PM

I see alot of people on ebay, the use high end CPU, and graphics. Then they will throw in generic ram (like 4Gb, cheap ram) and a lower end P35 motherboard. To the average user, those specs will look dramatic. All they see is "Quad core, 4Gb ram, 1TB Hard drive!).. they usually don't think about high end main boards, ram ect..

Indeed, I have noticed that a lot also. Luckily this is a no-risk, so if it doesn't sell, all ive lost is $4 on the advertisement.

The Q9300 is weak. It sports less cache than the Q6600, a 7.5 multiplier (although I'm not sure if those buying your rigs care to overclock), and only offers a 100MHz speed increase over the Q6600.

If these sell, build a few with the Q9450 and the E8400.

If you've looked at any benchmarks lately. the Q9300 performs better than the Q6600.

Clock for clock, I wouldn't be suprised if the Q9300 has a slight edge in some benchmarks. Can you provide a couple links?

I have a few other computers for sale also

Pentium Dual-Core E2160 - 2GB RAM - 250GB HDD - 7300LE - XP Home or Vista Basic

Intel Core 2 Quad Q6600 - 2GB RAM - 250GB HDD - 7300LE - No Operating System

How are the prices on these, and any recommendations?

[-0MEGA-] · 04-03-2008, 02:33 AM

What are you going to do to stress test the system before you ship it if you don't have an OS on it? Are you going to install an evaluation version and then format the drive before you ship it?

Garethman!!` · 04-03-2008, 03:11 AM

Yes, I will install an evaluation OS, then completely wipe the drive clean before shipping.

oregon · 04-03-2008, 05:36 AM

I would make it clear that without an OS the computer will not do anything. If an ignorant consumer (alot of the people on ebay) bought it they might think they were cheated when they realize this and then give you bad ratings.

Garethman!!` · 04-03-2008, 03:59 PM

Three of them do come with Windows, just 1 doesn't, but ill take that into mind and put it into the auction w/out an OS.
