curious about a xeon

[Graxymo]

so i was on the internet one day and i found this xeon that was really cheap i havent really done much searching but i want to know if its a good idea to try to build a gaming computer with it http://www.stikc.com/Intel-Xeon-CPU-2-8GHz-1M-Cache-800FSB-SL8RW?utm_campaign=product-promotion&utm_medium=comparisonshopping&utm_source=googlebase&gclid=CjwKEAiAodOlBRDCjr-UlJDjtVUSJABR7fxyyeTgjYgkLxBmL59-6TuDOksE1jZp5qUcxLi9DCyoZBoC7p3w_wcB

Are you trolling? That is an old, old CPU.

[Slash003]

Very old and if it wasnt it would be fake. There is no way in hell you'd be able to get a modern working cpu for under 4 dollars. Sorry to burst the bubble.

[Kobrastachka]

its a great idea to build a gaming Rig with that, If you get like over 9000.

no trol i swear its just the price to performance nice and im curious 

[Slash003]

I'd buy it maybe to make a keychain or something but to use it nah. Just novelty.

i looked it up on other sites and it was $15 new

Hmm well the cheapest cpu that i've seen that can run stuff cost 70$ and was an amd. Xeons cost hundreds or thousands of dollars.

[Enderman]

Just because its a xeon doesnt mean it is a good CPU.

This thing is OLD, and you probably wont get it to work unless you can also find a motherboard that old, which probably doesnt even support PCIe so you would not be able to put a GPU in it.

Overall the performance is crap, far worse than a pentium or celeron, and that is why it costs $4

 

You get what you pay for, and in this case you would be paying for a rock that doesnt do anything.

this is a slow single core cpu with a small cache there is no reason this cpu would be expensive and for my uses 2.8 is fine for me

It'd be a nice novelty item though.

[Thx And Bye]

This thing is 11 years old, has only one core.

Like Slash003 said, perfect for a keychain, everything else ... not really.

 

Here are the specs if you are curious:

Frequency is meaningless when it comes to assessing performance. My 3570K at 2.8GHz would destroy that CPU.

im still in school and my books are expensive so i dont have a whole lot of money to spend all i need from a motherboard for it is pcie but like you said it probably wont have a mobo to support it 

[Enderman]

im still in school and my books are expensive so i dont have a whole lot of money to spend all i need from a motherboard for it is pcie but like you said it probably wont have a mobo to support it 

then you should consider a low end AMD CPU or maybe even one of those tiny PCs that gigabyte or intel makes

the only thing you would really be able to do with it is frame it and hang it on a wall

[Graxymo]

can you suggest a cpu 

[ShadowCaptain]

go AMD AM1 if you have very little money

[Graxymo]

go AMD AM1 if you have very little money

thanks

[JAKEBAB]

This cpu would probably choke just running chrome lul.
