Tualatin Engineering Sample??!!

toastedzergling · Oct 18, 2002

Okay this guy is selling 10 tualatin engineering samples on e-bay,
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=2062911512
very tempting, is there something fishy here?

Yeah that is kind of temping. Maybe I'll grab one to play with. Test my RAM/mobo and stuff. I don't think it's that fishy. The guy has 80 positives and no negatives. Doubt he'd wanna spoil that streak. If they don't get too expensive I may have to jump on one.

well...drool...Do you think those could do a 166FSB?

mmm....166*7.5=~1200...damn...an Intel 370 with those kind of bands would pwn. Maybe even 200MHZ fsb???

It is illegal for these chips to be sold. Don't know where they came from but each of these carry an "intel confidential" label if they are really engineering samples. Bet intel would like to know about this guy and where they came from.

Yeah, but it isn't illegal for them to be bought!

I am a bit concerned about this auction, isn't it fairly odd to see 10 engineering samples showing up at once? the guys claims he knows nothing about processors so no technical questions!! can anybody confirm the stepping info?

the s-spec is real.
a google shows it as the s-spec cpu aopen used for various testing of one of their server boards.

the product code doesn't get any hits on google.
