It was sold for $400. Dunno, maybe someone wanted the new-old-stock one too badly.

I have one of those boards, I know for a fact they aren't very common. If someone offered me $200 for mine, i'd still send them packing.

It is a mistake to think you can solve any major problems just with potatoes.

Some people need specific hardware for specific needs: manufacturing / medical and so on. $400 is a bargain when the choice is: a) production or b) no production because it would enable something.

I agree for the most part, but not in this specific case..I highly doubt that anyone in the medical field or even an industry factory owner was scouring ebay for this specific board...it's unique function at the most is that it might have on board scsi and the dual processors. ..I can't see anything more unique/special about it. I'm almost sure it's just some computer nerd (like me) that just wanted to buy it and run a cool dual processor NT or win 2000 machine.

Lol, sold for 400.

Almost every dual socket board or rig I've bought I was able to get for under $100. If not for that, less than $200 or $250 in most case.

Got my XG-DLS board for $90. Came with nothing except the I/O plate, but still. Haven't seen another one since, other than one listing asking price $350-ish.

Must be nice being able to splash $400 for a board like that. Buyer must be driving a Bentley or something along those lines.
