Has anyone here ever purchased anything from eBay? and if so I was looking at this system. Will this system meet the requirements to fly AH2?

Not a bad price at $335. Need some honest answers. It's killin me not flying with you guys.

its kinda vague on its exact hardware specs/manufacturers ...

so its a 2800+ amd cpu
what mb ?
what video card ?
what Ram ??

even at his website he's still vague on whats in the machine and the upgrade prices are alittle high compared to the current market .

it looks like to me his mb in it is the asus a7v8x (via chipset) at the same price as a asus a7n8x- deluxe (nforce chipset )

that V mainboard is only worth about 60 bucks right now not 130

Id send him an email and get the exact hardware specs and price 1st .

Just my opinion...I would keep looking, no mention of an agp slot, plus the feedback is 93%, which isn't bad, but borderline for someone I would deal with. Also shipping is 75.00, which is outrageous.

Your computer is only as strong as its weakest link. What kind of RAM is it??

Its got onboard video chipset that I dont even recognize "128MB 256E 3D VIDEO CHIPSET GRAPHICS ACCELERATOR". 10 to 1 it wont run AH2 out of the box, and $89 to upgrade to an FX 5200?!?! Keep lookin bro!

You can find some good stuff on ebay tho, I've been happy with everyone I've dealt with. But also shop reputable local dealers, because you avoid the shipping and returns should be easier (check on that, tho). Any AMD system rated over 1000 or 1 gig Pentium4 should run aH2 pretty good IF you have 256M ram AND you have more than geforce2 or Radeon 7000 or 7500 graphics card.
