Holy isht... that's how much i bought my slot1 for almost 3 years ago. :Q I should've held on to my 100FSB version. 🙁

It would be cheaper just to get a new motherboard and processor.

Wow.

WTF? Why so expensive? Think I could get close to this much for my slot 1 P3-850? 😀

Not necessarily if it's for a server.

maybe i should hold onto my p2 233 mmx proc, and sell it in a few years when i can get that much for it!

Well, if you're going to add it on to a slot 1 board that already has one of those processors in it, then yes, it would be cheaper to get this.

To upgrade from a dual P2 system to 1GHz, you'd be better off just getting a new setup.

a p3 still hold some good value today powerwise...i use an 800mhz one...but they go for so much because the boards are incredibly cheap.

This kind of thing happens every so often. If you time your upgrades right, you can sell them down the road for pretty good money. The trick is to buy them when they are going at their fastest speed, right before they move on to something else.

The non mmx p200 sold well for years. It was the fastest processor you could get for many boards.

Some people are will to pay a premium to keep their old system for a while longer.

This is the fastest 'drop-in' processor you can get for most BX boards. Hence the high price.

I sold a Slot-1 1GHz with the 100MHz bus on Ebay for about $180..funny thing was that I had bought it in the past through MWave for like $90.

My old P2 400mhz has run like a champ for the last 4 years without a single problem (except for the moving parts such as the HDD and PSU fan which I had to replace). My AMD machine has been having problems left and right for the last year... I've pretty much replaced every single part in my system within the last 18 months, some parts have had to replace twice.

In my previous employment most of the work stations were PIII slot1 1ghz.... man.. that place is a gold mine now.

you can get a tually celly for like 50bux and it'll be faster. a tually p3 will still be cheaper have double the cache and be way faster still.

Yes but you need a voltage adapter/slocket to make it run in a 100mhz fsb BX board which brings the price up a bit.

No, most importantly because its not official and not validated. Thats why even socket370 P3 1Ghz dont go for as much.

Its the last line of upgrade for any slot1 board. A lot of users will pay a premium for a drop in upgrade solution for the fastest available processor (933/900/1000). The pentium non-MMX 200 was an example. As is the K6/3-450. The next example will probably be 2Ghz Willamette S423.

no, the adaptor makes the celly run at 133mhz bus if you o/c. 100mhz bus is default. 1.1a -> 1.49ghz is almost garranteed. the p3 tually already runs at 133mhz bus. the non powerleap adaptors cost maybe 20 dollars max.

What you said is true, but the people that would buy one of these isn't the overclocking type. 133mhz runs the agp slot out of spec, etc. They just want to keep their old rigs for a year or two longer, and have it be hassle free.

true, but thats only if you cheap out and buy the 50 dollar 100mhz bus celly. if you had 200+ dollars to play with like with that p3 on ebay, then you'd get a 512k cache p3 and run nothing out of spec. it probably would be cooler to boot. not to mention some people have apollo pro 133 m/bs on their old rigs, those can easily do 133mhz bus without anything being out of spec.
