Wow, at those kinds of prices I should buy two motherboards every time I build a system, one to use and one to keep as an investment and sell in five years...

I guess they're looking to sell these to businesses who just can't part with that socket 478 CPU and the SATA2 hard drives.

Agreed.

I wonder what a P2B goes for these days?

Agreed. I remember having to settle for a P4P800-E because these cost just a bit too much, but that turned out to be a great board. 5 years later and still running strong (parents PC), even though the HDD failed on them.

I am still using mine as I type this. I only have it OC'ed to 3.3 GHZ. How can they say it listed for $1100? !!!

Yeah p4p800 still in my desktop system running strong. I popped in an ee p4 in there and honestly, the machine runs like a champ!

Today's price for the venerable Asus P2b (ca. 1997) - $225

Could be a poorly annotated 5-pack of refurbs or something. It would not be the first time I've seen a multi-pack product that failed to state or note it was a multi-pack (except for the multi-pack price tag).
