So I got these two Intel CPUs, although I have no idea why I would ever buy them. Like I don't even remember purchasing them, they kinda just showed up at my door today and when I looked back at my purchase history I saw that they were purchased for $5 each. Nothing really to say here, other than I am lost on why I would ever spend my money on them lol. 

 

Intel Xeon 7140M x 2

To turn into fridge magnets! Obviously.

 

No, but in all seriousness, is it possible you were planning a server build or something?

I almost feel like these poor xeons were just orphans looking for a new home, I couldn't just abandon them so easily :)

buy a mobo and RAM for them and make a second server?

Sounds like a plan, except all I have seen for whatever the name of the socket these things are from is expensive. Like $40 + shipping for an ancient motherboard
