anybody got a dual core laying about...

[WMLute]

Maybe from an upgrade they wanna give me?

I use a single core p4 3.0 ghz but my moby supports Core 2 Quad / Core 2 Extreme / Core 2 Duo / Pentium Dual Core and supports FSB 1066/800/533MHz processors and H-T Technology.

So maybe someone that upgraded to a Quad and has an older dual laying about gathering dust wouldn't mind doing me a solid I sure would appreciate it.

P.M. me if you are feeling charitable.

E5200 (2.5ghz) $67
E5300 (2.6ghz) $72
E6300 Wolfdale not Conroe/Allendale (2.8ghz) $83

That's not terribly expensive.  An extra core will make a world of difference.

Last year $400.00 for an upgrade would be "fine".  Wouldn't have batted an eye or thought twice and I would have a new mobo, ram and cpu shipped from newegg allready.

But...

House burnt down last Sept.  (lost my business)  Burnt through $20,000 in savings trying to rebuild.

Ex-wfie decided to try and raise my support payments (retro to divorce 8yrs ago and 2 weeks before she remarried.  typical) so there's $5,000 on attorneys I spent last month.


Just not in any position what so ever to drop even $20.00 extra at this moment in time.

Life happens and times are tough at the moment.

I'm sure in 6 months I will be "fine" but at this particular juncture I can't afford it.

(so who's got an extra CPU they can ship me?)

I thought I would have something better for ya, but the only thing I have left laying around is the same as what you have.

Gosh darn it Lute just gave 1 away 2 weeks ago. Would have rather to sent it to a fellow Ah'er, sorry.
