I just went into PC World, and I was just looking at the PCs, when something seemed amiss. The computer claimed to have an 'Intel Celeron 4' and a ' ATI Radeon X300SE 158MB graphics card'

You'd think they'd know what they're selling.

Any of you people found stupid misprints in PC stores?

LOLOLOL, I never buy computer parts in stores anymore... I buy online at tigerdirect.ca

I did stop into Staples to get an emergency external hard drive and I was told that 20 GB was the standars for normal computers. :D

I don't pay much attention to most PC parts other than CPU and HD, so I can only respond to the Celeron 4 :D Whacko :D

i refuse to shop there any more, what with them trying to sell me an 80gb HD for £99 (that's over 100% profit btw)
also why buy a KVM switch from them for over £100 when you can get it else-where for £12!!

as for the mislabelling, they use secretaries instead of tech savvy people to type those things up, they realy don't care what they are reading when they type them
