ES processors are the property of Intel, and possessing one is illegal. You're probably not going to get into any trouble, but be aware that it's a black-market CPU.
Also, they're often early samples, which may not run stable at their rated clockspeed or have other bugs or instabilities.

Yes, ES processors are loaned to OEM manufacturers by Intel. Buying one is like buying stolen property.
The problem with them is that the microcode included in BIOS boards for CPU's might not work for those, so you might end up with errors.
