Beware of vendors at poota fairs that don't know what they are talking about

I waltzed down to the local poota fair today, and came across a sad selection of bits and bobs.

One of the stalls had a 'A7V266'mobo. WAHAYY I thought.
Had a closer look and listen, and the fella was trying to sell it is a DDR board, but when looking closer, of course it was only a A7V133, sitting next to an A7m266, hence the possible confusion I thought.

After a swift and cutting argument in front of some of the punters, he agreed maybe he was wrong as the A7V266 has not seen the light of day yet, and especially not in the UK.

The sticker stayed on though, waiting for more unwary customers.

Thanks to ANANDTECH and co, I saved myself and a couple of others a lot of hassle.

So the moral of the story is beware of the fast seller.:p
