pricecheck s478 P4 3E (SL7KB)

its this chip (http://processorfinder.intel.com/details.aspx?sSpec=SL7KB)

anyone know what one of these would go for im looking to either sell it here or ebay it. from what i saw on ebay 3ghz northwoods are going for $130 and this is the prescott 800mhz fsb/1m chip would it go for more o and it does have HT?

[btarunr]

I think $140 would be reasonable, you'll find a buyer right away. Else you could float it at $120 and make them bid at $4 increments, if you're lucky you could end up selling it for more than $150/$160

[cdawall]

that would work nicely that may be enough to switch to am2 :D

[btarunr]

More than enough. If you could do away with fries for a month or two, you could also squeeze in a Phenom 9500 :laugh: :toast:

i wish its damn mobo hadnt stopped working it wasa msi neo2 :shadedshu those together would fetch about $200-250

[btarunr]

Was it 865P or 875P ?

[cdawall]

via chipped one :roll:

edit PT880 neo2

[btarunr]

Ok that spilled my beer. :roll:

I didn't realise there also was a VIA Neo2. If that was working, you could sell them both for $190 or float them at $180 and knock off upto $220, again if you're lucky.

[cdawall]

haha i didnt realize there was either but hey free=good in my book esp when i might make $1XX off it!

though i read the reviews on it...

Based on my experiences with VIA boards in the AMD arena, I did not have high hopes for this board going in to the review. Boy, was I in for a shocker. Not only did this board exceed my expectations, but in most cases, it easily kept up with the current reigning king of the P4 chipsets - the Intel i875P. What makes this even more of a shocker is the fact that this VIA PT880 chipset is being marketed as a value chipset, not the i875P killer that it is.

Either of you want to buy my rig then?

Have a look @ system specs

[cdawall]

not really just trying to dump this old chip before its price drop

[btarunr]

Damn! I did some research on that (your Neo2), that's really not a bad board! Did you see its scores?

I'm sad VIA just gave up making high-end chipset for both Intel and AMD. Ofcourse Intel's shithead industry politics killed it "Stop making processors or we'll not let you make chipset for our processors" is what Intel told VIA.

Not a bad board at all, if you could somehow get it to work.

to bad the neo v2 only has 3 DDR slots :ohwell:

i tihnk i can get it to work but the DDR slots have burns on them?


edit: it works but i dont want to risk my ram to test out anything other than post :( wait i have an old 64mb stick of DDR266 in the garage!

[btarunr]

Give her an iso-propyl bath.

Use ear-buds to clean the memory slots' metal contacts.

[cdawall]

ill do that later but thakns hmm i have everythin but ram/HDD wonder what i could see it for as a whole system?



thoug i bet i could make more parting it out or mobo+cpu only

[newtekie1]

The Northwood P4s go for a little more than the Prescotts because they were better overclockers, and supported by more motherboards.

Though you should be able to get $100 or more for it.
