Re: Be aware of ebuyer.com
But the Intel Atom 330 is a dual core processor, there is no single core version of the 330, therefore how was it determined to be a single core product?
It's only a 3 page thread, doesn't take that long to read heh.

Re: Be aware of ebuyer.com
I've used ebuyer loads, the only problem i've had is when I had to return a motherboard that was DOA. even though it showed in stock it took almost 3 weeks for a replacement to be sent and I only get that sent at that point because I phoned up to complain about the time it was taking.

Re: Be aware of ebuyer.com
Ebuyer - Consistently excellent service.
Sheer speculation - Could be
Task Manager > CPU History > One graph, all CPU's > One Graph, Per CPU
I think the default view is One graph all CPU's - if you get my drift.

Re: Be aware of ebuyer.com
Bought a 22" LCD TV/DVD for the bedroom from ebuyer about 3-4 weeks ago, and a red line appeared on the screen (top to bottom) two nights ago.
I filled in the online returns request form, spoke to them on the phone next morning, and got a RMA straight away (the TV is being picked up Monday) - good customer service.

Read this whole thread and still got no idea what the OP is on about, did make me laugh in a confused kind of way.

Similar experience with a 2 week old Bluray Player with a duff laser that died on Tuesday.
I filled out the online returns form immediately, spoke to CS on Weds PM and UPS collected it today.
So full marks for the collection but I will reserve final judgment until the replacement procedure has completed. Watch this space.

Re: Be aware of ebuyer.com
I to have purchased items from Ebuyer (In the several thousand pounds range, dating back to 2002) and never had a problem like this.
I've returned several items in the past, due to faults, or problems and never had a problem.

Re: Be aware of ebuyer.com
I have to say I once purchased a graphics card from Ebuyer, which turned out to be not as described ( a confusion over what was implied by VIVO in the description - I expected 'video in video out' which wasn't provided).
- although there was no problem with returning the card & getting a refund, I was charged a 'restocking fee' - hence I never used them again - I'd be interested in any comments how this may have improved...

Re: Be aware of ebuyer.com
I bought a Logitech G7 mouse from Ebuyer. Seven months later it developed a fault - I returned it, they issued me a brand new mouse, same model. There was no restocking fee (still have the e-mail). So I'm not sure why they charged one in the case above? This was in 2006, so maybe things have changed since then?
Apart from that I've bought plenty of things from Ebuyer, and never had a problem with them. Also, they do free super saver delivery, which often comes as quickly as their paid for delivery services.

thats should have been covered by distance selling and they can not charge a fee for this by law

It is normal to get charged a restocking fee when it is not their fault, vivo graphics cards have always meant you can connect to a monitor but also to other sources like connecting to a tv via s-video, if you wern't sure what it meant you should had looked ti up before hand, what exactly were you wanting to use it as?

That's not what VIVO means. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Video_In_Video_Out
VIVO Cards generally do have TV-out etc but to be called a VIVO they also have to be capable of recieving a video signal from a device like a Video camera, VCR, DVD player etc.
