Looking for Nocona & Itanium 2

[Kimura]

New to the board, please forgive any ignorance. This may be a crazy request. I have this horrible habit of getting attached to processors I work with. If I work with it and it gets decommissioned, I must have it... I'm now short two;

I'm trying to find a Xeon Nocona and Itanium 2 (preferably Madison.) Please let me know if you can help me out, let me know how much you want for it and the condition. I couldn't get these myself as the servers were moved down the food chain instead of scrapped.

Thank you!

Nocona core xeons are just getting to the end of their lifecycle.. so getting quite cheap on ebay

the more common sSpecs you can get for under $6 each... the less common can still fetch up to $50

Itanium 2s you can pick the more common parts for $20 - 30 but most ebay sellers are still asking high prices

if you dont want to scour ebay.. then keep a watch on the For Sale section of the forum

EDIT>> just did a quick look... no Itanium 2 under $50 on ebay atm

and here is a simple search to get you going for Noconas
http://desc.shop.ebay.com/i.html?_nkw=(RK80546KG0*,+B80546KG0*,+BX80546K*)&_sacat=0&_sop=15&_dmpt=CPUs&_odkw=(YA80543KC0*,+80543KC0*)&_osacat=0&_trksid=p3286.c0.m270.l1313&LH_TitleDesc=1

but searching by sSpec will give you more results to choose from

Thank you for your time and info for a noob to the forums. Also, if anyone comes across this thread feel free to contact me. Note the parts don't have to work, just look intact.

There are usually several sale threads going here, so you may want to look in our sale forum.

I have a Nocona in my sale thread - 3.4 SL7PG - and several other folks have Xeons, too.
