Taw, i'll send you candy from america if you can get it to me for less
than £41

Seriously though, as much "candy" as you want

I'm so easily bought!

w00t!

Who's Ed Ed?

@AoD:

Be advised that you are about to enter into the gravity well that is the Reese's and Hershey's devouring singularity that is Taw.

for a Good Board for less than £41, it'll be worth it Indy

<edit> Taw! what happened to the P478 prescotts?!?!?!? there used to be
more of them?, there used to be a 3.4Ghz one too.

look! right here

You won't feel that way for long AoD. Isn't that right Ed-Ed?

i can get it for you at retail ex. VAT, which is £52-00. I can't get it for you at cost because motherboards aren't my product group. unless you want an RMA?

that's the best i can do.

i dont really see why an RMA will help

i think i will probably buy it from the states, but for your trouble
i'll get you a small bunch of candy anyway

Now, what happened to the 478 P4's? there used to be like 6 prescotts there
now there are just two! WTF?!?!?!?!?! (i've caught Chips's Bug)

Intel has not been restocking its first line resellers with the 478 pin Prescotts. They really want the newer pinless chips to take over the field. I don't know if they are maintaining any 478 pin production runs anymore.

Well if you can't find a use for an rma......

Try resellers like these guys

i only suggested an RMA to save you money, seeing as you're pleading poverty.

Ed's right, socket 478s are not being shipped out by Intel, they're forcing everyone down the 775 route. get your 478s while you can!

(they've gone off the frontpage because we were the first to get the new processors cos Intel love us)

i wasnt clear = what i meant was i dont understand how a RMA will save me money

And i wanted to know where all the other (3.4Ghz namely) socket 478 Prescotts have gone, or have Intell stopped making them, and they dont exist anymore

RMA - returned materials authority. i was suggesting that i could get you something that had been returned to us, not damaged but "b" grade, ie scrotty box, opened packages, missing manual etc. The product itself would be tested and work fine.

we sold all those cpus. I dont think you'll be seeing them again unless we find another shoal in the Intel ocean.. keep an eye out on our forums, we normally post news there. you'll find me there too (occasionally) Ask "gibbo" he's the cpu specialist, it's not one of myproduct group responsibilities. I do networks, control interfaces, cables, ics, software, communications and cams/webcams.

Not to discourage but the longer you wait the less optimistic I am that you will find a pristine brand spanking new 3.4gHz Prescott for an "affordable" price because of the LGA775 tidal wave that is due to hit soon. You may want to heed Taw and rma today.

Thing about Intel is that once they set their mind to it, they can really put big pressure on the market to do its bidding.
