Default Somethings not right, tell me what you think

hi, i found a computer on ebay today and it seems to have some faulse infomation on it.
http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/VISTA-QUAD-COR...QQcmdZViewItem

ok, first it says that the computer has 2 nvidia 8400 graphics cards in sli and i have descovered that that isnt possible as the earliest nvidia cards that can run in sli is the 8500s but could someone confirm that please.

second he says that the computer has an amd phenom 9500 running at 3.6ghz with no mention of an overclock, and its factory clock is 2.2ghz, so could someone explain this also.

To right something isn't right.

He's selling PCs with Vista Ultimate for £275 and Vista Ultimate on it's own is £125 trade so that just doesn't add up.

Probably dodgy Vista IMO.

What else is he lying about?

I'd leave him well alone, there are plenty of other reputable places to use.

well he says that the 8400 series graphics cards can run in sli which isnt true, and also he says that the amd phenom runs at 3.6ghz opposed to its actual clock of 2.2ghz.

It was a retorical question...

But yeah, if he is lying about the operating system he is probably going to pull your pants down over lots of other stuff.
