Hey everybody,
The AGP slot on my motherboard recently broke and I am left with two
Pentium 3 slot 1 733MHz processors. If anyone is interested, I am
asking $350 American each or $550 for both. I also have 256 MB of
RDRAM with ECC if anybody is interested, $150 American. Just drop me a
line if you're interested, or if you have a slot 1 motherboard with an
Intel 820 chipset that supports PC800 RDRAM with ECC. Thanks a lot.

LOL! You might want to cut your asking price by about 75% if you want
**anyone** to take you seriously. Also, you realize this isn't a FS NG,
right?

LOL you can buy a P-4 AND a motherboard -with- ram for that! They might be
worth $50 each?

$50 to maybe $70 each on Ebay right now; MAYBE as much as $150 as a matched
pair.

And even that is silly. WTF would anyone want that when something like an
AMD XP would be cheaper and faster? You can buy an XP chip and board for
$150 or less add $30 for some much faster DDR ram and it will KILL those 2
chips.

There's at least one Pricewatch vendor offering them for $28.

Athlon XPs start new around $80, don't they? I mean, a Duron would be under
$70 for sure, but that would require a new motherboard, and new RAM.

Which is a much heavier-duty upgrade than simply switching a Slot-1 CPU...
one of the reasons the slot-1 chips seem so overpriced.

$30 these days won't get you 256mb... prices are back up, though I hope it's
a blip. If you've got 768mb in an existing P3 motherboard...

$50'll get ya an XP1800 at new egg. Biostar has an Nforce IGP board for $65.
Some cheap DDR ram and you even get Gforce MX440 graphics thrown in for
free! Besides you'll get ata133 support etc.

Upgrading a slot one board just seems kinda silly to me unless you can buy
the CPU's for like $10-$15.

So same price to at most $20 less than a new Slot-1 CPU.

That's $115 now.

Have you noticed the price going up lately? It's up to over $100 for 512mb
again... not much by the standard of a few years ago, but pretty pricey
compared to the last couple.

Which requires you get a new hard drive, likely as not, to take advantage of

Plus the new motherboard will possibly require a new power supply and case
(certainly both of those if the Slot-1 system was from an vendor that used
non-standard ones, like say, Dell.)

It's certainly silly over $100; under that, if you're comfortable building a
new system, it's probably better to build a new system or replace the
motherboard. But they're not _as_ cheap, and they do take more time, which
is more valuable to some people than it is to others.

As for the matched pair issue, there's a certain silly cachet around duals
that seems to drive up the price of matched pairs on eBay.
