Ok, I don't know much about server processors but for some reason I am always looking them up on Craigslist.
Can someone give me(us) a better idea on what processors to keep an eye out for? Which processor series are worth buying and folding with if the price is right?
I see some dual Xeon 5440's
5130's
Dual 5205's
etc...
I do have the list of Xenon processors but just don't know where the line is that make one processor a good folder over another. There is always that chance of someone selling something they don't know anything about on craigslist and I want to take advantage of that.
1. If it does not have HT is it even worth it?
2. If I do find good CPU's, is the only real MB option an SR-2? Or can you get anything out of the stock MB?
3. If there is a line where some good PPD can be made, where is it? What should I keep an eye out for?
