Hi Jamie,
You're right to be skeptical about this seller. Besides the fact
that the 770Z and X model come with up to 8 MB of video RAM (not
12 indeed), the 14.1" version comes with only 4 MB (the 13.7" is
the only with 8 MB). Since it's a 366 Mhz machine, it should be
a 770Z, which is the only one running at that speed. But they come
with 14.1 GB harddisks only; the 9.1 GB is odd too, as far as I
know no 770 ever came equipped with this kind of harddisk (4 GB,
5.1 GB, 8 GB and 14.1 GB are common). The new 770's have RAM that
is expandable to 320 megabytes as well instead of the 288
mentioned below. And audio will be 16 bit external, internal
might be better (64 bit). And be ware: the car adapter might be
super slim and light weight, the 770 is big and bulky (but an
excellent desktop replacement).
If it is an actual 770, it's an odd mix of 770ED, 770Z and non-
770-native components.
All in all, I wouldn't trust this guy much.
Good luck,
Jeroen
