Now if you can find a quad socket board that supports these for $28 then we'll be talkin'!

Only 2 way.

[shoota]

Ah good catch. Ok now find a dual socket board for cheap

[Origin_Unknown]

nice - id jump on them

[Otis11]

Any idea on what a pair of these would do for PPD?

How much would it cost to spec out a rig for this? (Ram, PSU-would 250W be enough?, etc.)

[slaveondope]

A solid 250w likely 300w safely and more efficiently. Points ~what a 3.6ghz x6 would do I'd imagine so ~20K WCG if I remember right. The Asus boards with certain Nvidia chipset could OC as well. Someone on here's posted the setup before.

If you need a psu I could send you an Earthwatts 350W.

Our Arimas do mid 30's and have 4 more cores so 20K wcg for this rig looks about right to me.

Well I ask because I have 3 250W PSU sitting here and for the next 2 years I have free electricity (minus the next 4.5 months) so if I can get these set up as low profile crunchers that I can sit on a shelf and it makes sense in terms of PPD/$ I'd bite... I'd build 3 of them and set it in my closet - double my ppd if I can afford it.

Plus, I could then put it in a decent case and pass it off for a free/cheap computer to grandparents/friends little brothers after the 2 years are up... or even use it as a file server if it makes sense to keep in terms of power...

Sorry to ramble, but you see my thought process...

[shoota]

I think first you gotta find some boards. That will make or break your decision methinks. I have some coolers that would work if you need those.

[Otis11]

Agreed... that and RAM are the big issues... does this have to have special RAM since it's a server chip?

[Sparky]

I would suspect ECC registered. But I may be able to help out there perhaps. I have 8x1GB ECC registered DDR2-400 if that works with those chips (not sure what the speed requirements are).

[anubis]

Someone in U.S - please take them all.Buy-it-now price currently at $1.. We can hunt for mobos later. Would do it myself, but S&H is too much.

Ok, just checked the postage ... $38 for a single CPU to Auz! You have GOT to be freaking kidding me!!

[anubis]

Economy shipping within U.S is free - PLEASE, someone, buy them all. We could get a lot of energy efficient crunchers for the team.

[[XC] Oj101]

At $1/each I'd gladly take four and pay someone for postage/their effort

[[XC] Oj101]

I can still handle US $40 shipping, I just need them tested before they come down here

[shoota]

Ok I bought four. Now which of those boards are confirmed to overclock?

[anubis]

shoota - take 4 for me, i`ll paypal you

[[XC] Oj101]

Me too please, I'll probably PP you for postage after the end of the month if that's ok.

[shoota]

Ok bought 10 more hehe. You guys do realize I have no way to test these right?

[anubis]

No problem - even if they dont work a 2419EE keychain is worth way more than $1 (Y)

-> This listing was ended by the seller because the item is no longer available.<-

You got them? I`m in for 4.

[shoota]

The listing said "more than 10 available", I guess there was exactly 10 available
You and Oj are down for four. I wish I could test these... anubis can you find some more boards by chance?

I`m sure as h*ll looking now. WOHOO!

AFAIK: mcp55pro/3600 chipsets should allow OC
