I got a spare board that I would like to use but it needs a brain. Anyone have any old processors they don't want? Doesn't matter what speed it is. Thanks!

P4 in LGA775, that's an odd ball to find. I have a P4 in socket 478, but I do need it, since my work PC needs a brain to function. Good luck hunting. Try ebay, here, as low as $10 bucks. http://preview.tinyurl.com/47qy59

Nah, I just thought if any one had one laying around I could make a file server out of my old board. Hey, I wouldn't mind a pentium D either

I moved this to the Marketplace thread and put a [Wanted] tag in front of it. If anyone needs anything, and wants to post about it, then it should from now on go in the Marketplace thread with a [Wanted] tag in front of the subject. This way it does not get lost as easy as it would in other topics that have more posts.

Thanks Adam, I didn't know whether to put it in the marketplace or not. Since I thought the market place was for selling stuff.

Yeah, it was just for selling stuff, but I saw this thread and decided that it would be the best place for this type of thread too.

Edited for my stupidity!!!

I have a Skt 478 2GHz P4 with 400MHz Bus.

Mark,
What are you looking for?
I think I still have some 486DX3s around here, and know I have some P2s as well.
I even have some old MBs and video cards.
I hate throwing them out, so I just stack them up.
If you want something for a Linux based file server, I can hook you up with some MB, CPUs, DRAM, etc, just for the cost of shipping.

Actually I just got rid of my spare board, but now I could use a socket 478 processor if anyone has a spare.

Jim,
How much would you want for it?

I don't know.. the thing is useless to me. send me the money for the shipping plus a couple bucks for my trouble and its yours.

I misread that at first and thought it said 3GHZ.

I doubt my friend would see much of an increase from a P4 1.6GHz to 2GHz though. Thanks anyways though!
