Errr, not sure if this is allowed..

But a person off of AnAndTech wants to trade me this + a SFF pc for my cpu/memory combo and cash...

Can anyone tell me more about these? i know supposedly they have the multi's unlocked, but are they illegal to sell or what?

I'm not sure on Intels policy on them. The ES are usually onoly handed out to reviewers and Intel employees.

Why wouldn't it be allowed? People post vendor sites all the time .........and if you post tiger direct, you're posting hand-me-down stuff for sale! Hehehehe

I understand that the Q & A has to be maintained etc, etc

Yeah i think so. ES 'remain property' of Intel.

Well, ESs arn't really special anyways. They either clock bad or alright. Plus, the 5xx series CPUs suck, reguardless if they are an ES.

Officially, ES processors remain the property of Intel. In the past, Intel has hunted people down that "obtained" these ES CPUs and confiscated 'em. Not sure how aggresive they are nowadays. Like Extreme said, other than having the multiplier unlocked, they typically aren't that special since they tend to be very early production steppings. Now with speed step on the newer processor, you can usually drop down to the 14X multiplier which makes the ES less attractive in my opinion.
