What do you think about this Blizzard PPC offer?
« on: May 25, 2006, 09:04:13 AM »
Hi, i found a good offer for a Blizzard PPC, 250 EUR for a PPC 060/50mhz, 603e/266Mhz (Overclocked) + SCSI + 128 simm EDO. But the seller don't give me confidence. On the first message i received this specifications:
Blizzard PPC 060/80Mhz (Overclocked), 603e/266Mhz + SCSI + 128 simm

I asked about if it can be restored to original mhz, and if the 060 was socketed or soldered, i received a message from seller saying that it can be restored, but it was soldered, for this reason i rejected it, because if the 060 have a problem it can't be changed on a easy way.

Then i received a message, and all the specifications was changed, the seller said that he was wrong, the blizzard was not overclocked, and the 060 was socketed, it was very strange, when i said that i'm not interested then i received the message changing the specifications.

But this is not the last change of specifications, three days ago i received another message, "the ppc acelerator is not overclocked. The 060 is 50 mhz from factory, the ppc cpu 603e 266 mhz + scsi is the one that was overclocked from 200 to 266mhz."

I think that is a interesting offer, this ppc card is sold on some shops for 500 EUR, but i don't know very well what i'm buying, what do you think?

I have news from the guy that sell the ppc, first i asked for photos, he sent me an email saying that this is not problem, that he will send later, but some hours later i received a message, the ppc was sold. I can't understand this guy, he don't know what is selling, it changes the specifications in every message...
