I've just built a system and have a Q8200 in it (Budget I know but it's pretty fast) and I've just been offered a Xeon X3360 for £50 and was wondering if I should pick it up? Online they're a good £200+ so I could always eBay it I suppose bit would it get me better performance in games over my Q8200? It has a higher clock speed and being a Xeon, more cache than a terrorist (12Mb, compared to 4Mb) but It's not all clock speeds and cache in the processor world.
Anyway, would this be a good pick up for me? Cheers, Razer. |

I'd get it and ebay it off! Nice profit on that if it goes for 200.

How about buying it and selling it on here for cost lol
I will put it under DICE and see what it can do  The X3360 is the same as the Q9550, its really made for servers, has a higher thermal rating and uses less volts

I might well pick it up just to cash in on it. Would be quite nice!
My mobo doesn't have the right chipset so if I get hold of it, I'll be selling it. Not sure if I'm allowed eBay links on here cos I'm not a donator and thus cannot sell but I'll keep you posted on what I get. |

Looks like I'll be selling the chip on tuesday for £200 on ebay, if it arrives. If anyones interested, PM me and I'll link you to the eBay auction.
My apologies Dave if this breaks the rules! |

I might do, had some interest in my Q8200, may put that up. Going to get the Q9550 if my Q8200 goes for decent pennies. Will post up a thread when I get some news.
Cheers Serverguy =) |
