The only odd looking thing about this card, that I can see anyway, is that one of its oscillators looks "raised" from the surface of the PCB. Could this be a problem? I was browsing ebay and spotted it, and then it disappeared from that website. I emailed the seller, and asked him why the item was no longer for sale, and he said that he thought there might be a problem with it, and so withdrew the listing.

It looks that way because this oscillator is socketed, the others are not.

1+1=10

Ah thanks. BTW, the seller says that the card doesn't have any visual defects, but he says that he tested it in a computer, and the screen remained blank.
