Xeon question, need quick answer !!!!

[ColinP]

Hi,

looking at these on Ebay for my Dell 530

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=2070638706&rd=1

They are Compaq Xeons , would there be any difference bettween these and a normal Xeon ? And would they work in my Dell Precision 530 ?

Thanks,

Col

Looks like a 2.0GHz Prestonia (.13um) xeon, it will be the exact same chip as anyother you would buy or get with another OEM branded system (ie. dell, alienware, ect) Hope that helps

Thanks for the reply, I thought so but it's nice to have you confirm it...

I got them for £104. Cheapest I have seen them for in the UK is around £350 a pair !!!!!!
