CPU Legit or Not?? Need HELP!!!

Looking again thru cpus on ebay trying to find a cheap and came across this one...
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.d [...] tsupported
now i found es and oem ones but not sure which one this is if it is legit should i go for it
and will it work with a msi ms1651 barebone laptop ID2 the one with 9600m GT DDR3 Video card and how much battery life will this drain out of a 6 cell and a 9 cell?

I'd avoid like the plague that it is. First, he claims its a "INTEL CORE QUAD Q9200 ES" ES I would assume means Engineering Sample, which your not allowed to own. Second, he claims it runs on the "GM45 PM45 chipset", which was never a "SOCKET: 478 P" S478 never had quads, dual core Netburst based P4s was as high as they got. Last, while I don't follow Intels mobile chips that much, I doubt they have any quads out right now that have 12MBs of L2 cache. Either hes trying to mislead people, or he doesn't even know what he has. Either way, if this is an ES chip, don't bother buying them. ES chips are property of Intel, and should never be used in a normal computer.

Well I don't think it's the same guy, or if it is then he's a scam and/or doesn't know a CPU from a plant. The link in that thread to here lists a different sSpec, different FSB frequency, different socket and different core frequency.

Who says your not allowed to own a ES??? Many people own ES chips.

They are for sale on Ebay all the time.

and intel supposedly owns them and only "loans" them out to interested parties

now, of course there is the pirate bay, people whom pay to go to Canada or China for health care and people whom jay walks, just because people do it dosen't mean that its legal, or if the law that made them illegal made any sense.

ES chips are the property of Intel, and are not for sale. The reason they end up on eBay is Intel provide (sometimes trays of) them to OEM's and other industry folks, who are supposed to return them once whatever testing the ES chips were needed for is accomplished. Some never end up being sent back, and instead are pirated and sold.

Do Intel have the time to track this stuff down? No... But it is stolen property.

------------------------------ Which Chip? Well, it depends on which set of thieving b@stardz you choose to support: The ones who use insider trading to enrich themselves while running their company into the ground, or the ones who illegally pay vendors to not support the first group.

Also - There was a pretty epic thread a while ago where a board member was sold an ES chip through an online reseller and reported it to Intel.

I dug around some, but didn't come up with it... Perhaps someone else could oblige. It's probably 2~3 years old now.

Cliff Notes version: Person buys new C2D chip from online reseller. Receives an ES version which was obviously used. Complains and returns it, but has the foresight to take pictures - including the numbers on the heat spreader - because he didn't trust the reseller and wanted document everything just in case. Finds out later what the "ES" means, wasn't particulary happy with the reseller to begin with, and contacts Intel and succeeds in getting the attention of that mythical [/i]"Correct Person To Speak To".[/i]

Note: We do not know the specifics of which reseller - At Intel's request the OP didn't provide.

ANyways - At this point, the OP did not have any physical evidence to hand over to Intel, but the Docs were strong enough... The OP ended up Going Back To The Reseller and ordering a replacement for the ES chip he returned. The reseller Sent Another ES Chip - Not The Same One! But a second ES C2D. This he duly Fedex'd to 'The Right Person' at Intel.

In return for his help, Intel sent the OP a new C2Q Extreme. We don't know what happened to the Reseller. Presumably, they had their licence to sell Intel products revoked.

I locked it a few days ago and it will remain locked until I see this chip or have another sufficient reason for reopening it.

Actually I was a "resident," but the change is a bit of a longish story which I probably can't remember anyway.
