Those aren't "sammys'

**alucasa** · 03-16-2009, 06:17 PM

Those are Yonah.

**emuexport** · 03-16-2009, 06:19 PM

Gotcha they're Yonahs!

Sorry guys.

My friend, honestly it can be hard to keep up here.
Here are the sammy versions:
1667's
2000's
Those two are 'findable"
Then there is the 2167 if you want to auction your kids to pay for them... $350 each
Then there was one made on a run for OEM's.. a 2300.
I can't find them and I looked for a long time..
And then some new info..
Intel orginally planned a drop in replacement for the sossamans.. pin correct and called a Merom MP..
They were made but also just for OEM's..
Find a couple of those suckers but I doubt the BIOS would recognise them and they are 64 bit capable..

Thanks Dave. My 1667's showed up today. Mobo should be here tomorrow. The rest of the parts shipped out today. So I will be ready and waiting.

So how much you pay for each and where you bought them?

**CaptMorgan** · 03-18-2009, 12:30 PM

I have 1 set of the 1667's and 4 sets of the 2000's. I got the 1667 from itxchange.com; the others I got from eBay and it depends how bad you want them-but I wouldn't pay more than $60 each(1), but that's just me. The guy I got them from was very professional; just remember Dave also got a set for a little under $70 shipped! 2 factors exist- there is a slowly dwindling supply or there is huge vast amount somewhere. If the latter exists then they should be real cheap!

**Jaco** · 03-18-2009, 01:33 PM

I'm gonna start building my 2nd Sossaman system . SL8WT's

I think that there is still a decent quantity of the 2000's available. They will appear from time to time and as business upgrade from these to maybe wolfdale based systems.
Now not exactly low power at 80w each but here's the ultimate dual dual core..
http://ark.intel.com/cpu.aspx?groupId=36608
I have 4 of these sitting here..

Let's see if I can be of any help here. What you should try and do when taking pictures of hardware is to make sure there's enough light. You don't want to flash, but you want the shutter speed to be high enough so that the picture isn't blurred. That's the most important thing, really.

Also, when doing macro photography, I use manual focus. My Canon A540 point and shoot is still pretty good at that stuff, as shown below. I rarely use it any more though, I've got an EOS400D/Rebel XTi now.

damn.. They are $2.95 plus $7.00 shipping here from Performance PC's.. I could have stuck one in the box..

**CaptMorgan** · 03-18-2009, 03:00 PM

Those X5270's are not cheap if I am looking at them right

**Movieman** · 03-18-2009, 03:02 PM

No, app $800.00 each retail is the best I saw out there..
Let's just say I got mine substantially cheaper than that..

**Jaco** · 03-18-2009, 03:10 PM

Those X5270's are nowhere near 80w , I'm sure .
More around 65-70w

My E5450's are also rated 80w and that's quadcore.
