bulk amd processors

[jossrik]

Hi Guys,
Anyone know whereabouts I can go to buy AMD processors in bulk at less that pricewatch prices? I'm in need of what I consider a lot (100) processors, but don't wanna blow that monies all at once, specifically, we're looking for xp 2400s. Any help would be kewl, thanks, Jossrik

You may be able to buy it direct from a mass distributor?

Hmmm. 100 XP processors @ 2 Ghz. Thats some good computing for Folding@Home. Set those up and get Folding for Tom's Community! Its gonna be hard to find XP 2400+'s though. I saw XP 3000+'s for $100. Thats a good price. Thinking of selling my 2400+ and getting a 3000+. I could sell my 2400+ and it would only cost me $50 to upgrade.

If you have an NF2 mobo that can adjust the multiplier, get a mobile (XP-M 2500 or 2600), and run it at 200 x 11, same as a Barton XP 3200+ . They are cheaper than the XP 3000+ and more flexible. Most can go faster with good cooling.

I would, but my Asus A7N8X Deluxe is a Rev 1.04 board. Not the Ultra that can run the 200 FSB. So, I am pretty limited. I saw a XP 3000+ for $98. I can sell my current one for $50, so it only costs $50. Not a bad deal. I got a Thermaltake Silent Boost with Artic Silver, so I may get a decent overclock out of the 3000+. They look to be decent overclockers. I saw 2.167 Ghz @ 2.4 Ghz on stock heatsink.

The thing about the xp-m chips is the multiplier is unlocked, so you can up it as well as the fsb.
Most of the 1.04 revs can get close to 200 (190 say) and with a 12 or 13 multiplier, you get much better than any xp3000+
