[EXT64]

Are they serious?

Any takers?

Seriously though, what is the application for a chip like that (and for that price too!)?

 

[JAYDEEJOHN]

Ill take eight, and somehow use em in my converted skulltrail

hmmm. Might be an old CPU they are trying to get rid of. Doubt they have or will sell any soon. Or might be a joke.

I love that the most recent review is from 2.5 years ago. In the computer market that alone tells you something is wrong.

Nah it's not a joke since it's Socket A... That basically says it all.

 

[EXT64]

I wonder where they found it since they definitely aren't made anymore. Was it just laying around forgotten on a back shelf?

I paid less than that 4 years ago when I bought mine brand new.

 

[Hellboy]

No, you lot are silly...

Its a new uber, Intel C2D killer....

Called the Phenom with B3 Stepping..........

Come on cant you see its got 120nm technology with gates so thick than you can overclock it with only abosolute Zero technology.........

What a wizz.....

You want quad core - use tape to stick them together - aleast its bug free !!!!!!!!!

I could actually use one of those on my 4th LAN computer for when friends come over... (currently overclocking an even older 1700+) will one of you that truly has two or three old Bartons in a box in the bottow drawer of your dest let me send you $2.00 for shipping and please mail me one...

But the real April Fools could be the ETA on the E8400 as 4/1, for I checked at about 9:00 Monday night PST, but it was 4/1 on the East Coast, and they were in stock. I finally was able to order an OEM for $189 for my brother-in-law's computer, free shipping. A few hours later, they were sold out again, but with the same 4/1 ETA. I have no idea when they came into stock online on Monday, but I checked in the morning, too, and they were not on the web page.

Hey, I was serious about the extra Barton...
