Radeon 8500

[chaos]

I see there are a few manufacturers of the radeon 8500 on Ebay. Do you think these cards are ok?? One claims to be clocked at 275mhz. Here's a few links:::

http://cgi.ebay.com/aw-cgi/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=1300301467--says its clocked at 275mhz at bottom of description.
Just want to know if they're alrite.

With that second link the seller has some strange listings practices and something's not right here.....Look at his other ebay listings he has:

I'd avoid them. They're flat out third party cards. The memory is clocked at 275, but the core isn't. What he fails to state (or he's lying) is that the core is clocked at 250. Look at any pictures they provide. The real 275/275 cards will have a skull on the cover, not a spider.
