And you? Would you let a deal go because you think "man, I would take more if I was to sell this or that"? Or would you take it and be happy luck was on your side this time? Wouldn't you prefer to buy your piece of pork while on sale instead of the "normal" price (which is still much too low …

All your stories have one red line: To set some points right about my story: - you found somebody who offered some stuff without having the slightest idea how much they are worth. Maybe not the correct idea but also didn't offer it as give away. - They found out about the real value after you …

As far as I see it, this guy simply knows the CPU is rare but he has no clue what a realistic price might be. That's why he accepts offers. Honestly I don't see anything bad about it. What would you do? SO basically this CPU was on local AD site for pocket change, some scalper saw it, and now will …

If you can find one (Phenom II X6 1100T BE). Check MB compatibility first, not every AM3 board supports Ph II X6. They need a dual-plane board, i.e. separate voltages for CPU & northbridge.

The first quad cores should be AM2+ AFAIK (Phenom X4 series). It seems they are backwards compatible to AM2.

If you mean the winhistory-forum, there's a user "dr. zeissler" obviously looking for such a module (and maybe others too, didn't read the whole thread). It would be a huge coincidence if that's not the same dr. zeissler also active here on vogons. Maybe you should give him a PM (if you want to get …

Thank you. There are many different cache modules in this form factor made by Cypress, Motorola and others. They were mostly chipset specific and for 486 machines. I was once searching for one for an Intel Aries / EX chipset based system but they are nearly unobtainable today and if you can find one …

I read somewhere that the 1100Mhz adn 1133Mhz Coppermine CPUs are 49 to 55W. That's a lot of power for socket 370. I agree about he cooler, but I don't have anything bigger that will actually fit a slotket. On the BE6 a taller heatsink will hit the ram slots, and on the P3B a wider heatsink will …

I can confirm the existence of the PIII-1100 @100MHz FSB (SL5QW). It was the last PIII I used and I had it run @1200 MHz for a long time without problems. Bought it in 2002 and still have it :) If it's some kind of rare I cannot say. I also recently came across a PIII 1133 (SL5B2), a standard …

Yes I can remember this little deathbringing noise, too. "pfffff" just one nanosecond after power on and that's it. You can't do nothing against. When you hear it it's already too late. Oh come on, no need to remind people of that sound. I had forgotten all about it. I killed one of the early …

MSI K7T266 Pro-R for the usual tenner. Early "DDR" Socket 462 / Athlon motherboard with IDE RAID and AGP pro. Some random AM. Fat, good looking caps. Boots just fine.

Yes I know. I had to add another jumper for the changed BF2 one my board (to not mess with the original three and to maintain conformance with other CPUs). That said, I'm not sure any more if I also tested with the original BF2 on the pin position not used by the Tillamook. I'm pretty sure this did …

"THOR". Seems to me like the only proper name for it. Very nice machine. And it still has RAM slots free! But it looks a bit like a poor shy dog in its corner there. Something that needs correction 😉
