Would anyone near Cambridge, UK be interested in either

* Phenom/2500 compute node (4 cores, 8GB memory, no hard drive, onboard graphics) offers around £150. Pretty quiet, PSU not quite big enough to support a heavy GPU.

* Dual quad Opteron/2500 compute node with large memory (8 cores, 32GB DDR2/533 memory, no hard drive, basic Radeon 7000 graphics) offers around £600

Buyer collects in either case. Probably best to respond by PM.

You talkin' to ME???

Don't see anyone else around (Paul excepted).

I'm certainly talking to you if you're interested; I was vaguely hoping that the woodwork might be lurker-infested, but it seems maybe not.

Money's too tight to mention

Flatlander lives south of Watford, and Lavalamp north of Watford Gap.
But I wouldn't describe either of them as termites.

What is an "Opteron/2500" or a "Phenom/2500"? The closest in spelling I can find on Wikipedia's lists of AMD processors is the Phenom X4 9500 and a whole bunch of Opterons.

According to /proc/cpuinfo, the 'phenom/2500' system is

Code:

model name	: AMD Phenom(tm) 9850 Quad-Core Processor
stepping	: 3
cpu MHz		: 2500.000
cache size	: 512 KB

and the 'opteron/2500' system has two Opteron 2380 processors, with an L3 cache size of 6MB each.

How much did you get?

fivemack · 2011-06-11, 19:44

Exactly what I suggested in the top post; just over half what I paid for the kit in the first place. Which isn't completely unreasonable for second-hand computers.

Sounds good to me. A lurker?

The one time I splashed out big time on hardware was ~1992.
My ex "boss" helped me avoid the VAT, but a 486 DX still
cost the best part of a grand.
I thought the numerical processor would be fun/useful, but
on reading a seriously useful book "Programming the 386/486"
the timings appeared so dismal, I never got round to using it.

The 'puter served me well for several years, but I left it for
the bin man ~5 years ago.

Don't think it would fetch much now, but antique value?
