If you don't want "latest and greatest" you could probably find an Ivy Bridge quad-core - used, OEM-pull, "tray/OEM," possibly even a retail-box - but look for a price around $100. I think the outfit which sold me that processor was "SuperBiz."įor a workstation, I wouldn't bother with any such replacement. The replacement, however, is already on the drawing-board. In my case, I was using old parts to construct a home-server box, and I intend to squeeze a few more years out of it. Last year (almost exactly a year), I found a Q6600 described as an "OEM 'pull'" for about $90. Getting the RAM clock "right" always required some arithmetic and a choice of ratios to match a CPU clock speed to the RAM. And those are C2D systems, one of them a Gigabyte board with the NVidia 610i chipset. I'm retiring all the LGA-775 systems in our house, one by one - one down, one to go.
