| Date Posted: Sep/08/2004 7:07 PM Posted By: OrlandoTiger Rank: Happy Member Bump for a great cause. There are a lot of people in need in Florida right now after two hits and I believe more to come. The Red Cross always does a good job with relief and I hope many of you will go catch a movie and help out at the same time For those outside Florida, you can go to the Red Cross website if you wish to donate for info. For the Salvation Army who is also doing a lot here I know the number is 1-800-SAL-ARMY Thanks zinnia11 for your post |

its a prescott, as i said in the post.
There are 2 – 2.8 prescotts, both an A version (533 fsb) and an E version (800fsb).
2.8A Prescott @ Newegg
2.8E Prescott @ Newegg
Maybe that will clear up the question (I totally understood prescott btw!) Message edited by: CrazyGamer on 2004-09-08 09:32:17

Okay, I found the ad in today’s Chronicle, back page of the Sports section.
It doesn’t specify any brand or model for the 200GB hard-drive…that’s going to cause some problems with BB pricematch, isn’t it?
Thanks,

“Great Quality” is actually made by ECS. I bought the $799 Centrino notebook by the same company over the weekend and so far I think it’s a fantastic deal.
