Kentsfield CPU's

[GSTARR]

Been a while since you heard that name eh?

 

Well I'm going to get one for my old, Dell. It's the best one that it supports. Which is totally fine for me

 

But what I want to ask is where a reliable source is for used CPU's

Newegg?

Amazon (do they sell used CPU's?)

 

 

 

I'll probably still search on ebay, but simply seeing other people say good things about someone doesn't really reassure me ya know

considering the cheap price i should be ok...but it's still 100~ dollars down the drain if its f'd up

craigslist? Is that codename for the q6600? if so, ask @LinusTech if he is willing to sell the one from the Scrapyard wars PC?

1. No returns on craigslist, its not regulated at all 

2. its the q6000 line and certain xeons of the time
