Hi, I own a MacPro 1.1 (2 x 2.66 Ghz dual-core Intel Xeon) and am thinking about buying two X5355's to make it into a 8 core machine. I've read positive remarks about the change. These chips go for around $430 each new.

I'm wondering about buying used. Do chips even go bad? Do they were out? Any other reasons to/not to buy used?

Thanks in advance!
