If its "real" and its still on say 100 pounds with like an hour to go ill make a bid and borrow the money i dont have somehow

Im sure for a good price if you asked nicely he would send outside of the UK

oh yes, i would buy it if it was worth it. Well, that 2.8c can act like a 2.4c a 2.6c a 2.8c a 3.0c, a 3.2c etc. But i dont know if its worth it. Besides the bid is goin up to like 300 at least probably.

Jimbob7 · Dec 20, 2003

most probably, but im gonna keep my eye on it

Be careful bidding on it - Intel corporate security has been notified.

reported it?

I know, whos the stupid jealous AMD fan?

harryinny3 · Dec 20, 2003

either that or someone trying to get ahead

in the company. brown noser id say. Turning someone in for something we ALL would do if we could is just plain wrong. IF an Intel chip WERE to hit the market that was unlocked, It would surely mean the end of AMD. 64 bit or not.

My friend has an ES 2.8C and it overclocks like crap. It is illegal to sell ES chips because they are property of Intel

TC · Dec 21, 2003

I would suggest a mod close this thread. If Intel gets the idea this forum is supporting the trade of ES chips they could seek legal action.

Jimbob7 · Dec 21, 2003

mrspec3 just because his overclocks bad doesnt mean that the one of ebay will

Im not going against what you said!!!, but this is an overclockers forum and an unlocked intel chip like that would be pretty awsome. This thread isnt directly at buying the chip, its basically just saying " theres a unlocked 2.8c on ebay" and seeing as they dont come about much is pretty cool to see one.

TC · Dec 21, 2003

I agree - I had an ES for a while myself, but I got totally burned when I tried to sell it on Ebay. The legal issues associated with this are not worth the trouble and the risk to this forum.

Buying an ES chip from eBay is the dumbest thing anyone can do. That's the first place the Intel security department looks when they are trying to recover their property. ES chips are never sold, they are just "loaned out" by Intel. Therefore, buying one is illegal. Besides, they are usually early versions and don't always overclock to the max like production processors. The main advantage of course is that you can adjust the multiplier. The official policy of overclockers.com has always been the opposition of illegal activities, including the possession of stolen property. Enough said. Let's just hypothetically say if you ever do acquire an ES, it's not a good idea to mention it in a public forum.

Jimbob7 · Dec 21, 2003

so basically is stealing :O

batboy · Dec 21, 2003

If you buy an ES CPU, you are in possession of stolen property. Intel can and does confiscate these on a routine basis. So, all your money you paid would be down the drain.
