"Dartymoor" :] “As new perfect condition.”* *This CPU has absolutely *not* been pulled from the home server of a Linux enthusiast where it has been running full-tilt and screaming hot for it's entire life. Honest guv :] To be fair, you do need to be patient to pick up something like a Q6600 for that kind of bargain - there are plenty of people doing "buy it now" on those models for as much as £40-£60, not that I'd pay that much for one. At £18 already, your G840 is doing pretty well! Cheers -- The Mailing List for the Devon & Cornwall LUG http://mailman.dclug.org.uk/listinfo/list FAQ: http://www.dcglug.org.uk/listfaq
