Joe, any luck finding another processor? Not just yet. I can get the chip for under $35, but I also need a 1U heat sink - no fan. I have found one combination for $50. I know a guy who may have an extra one, so I will talk to him first, then decide if I want to spend the $50. I think, if he wishes to part with it, I may get the combination for $25 to $30. I will probably get a hold of him tomorrow. Wish me luck. Found one on E-Bay. Comes with a 1U heatsink. Should be here in a couple of days. The guy locally who had one did not want to part with his. Cheers

I now have a Dell PowerEdge 860 with ubuntu 12.04 running on it @2,80ghz with 4gigs of memory, and of course World Community Grid
This summer I have plans to learn more about ubuntu server so this should be a good test machine for me |

Not bad for a quad core. Have to let us know what your ppd your getting on it. Just installed mine this morning. 2 dual hex machines should do me for awhile. Other half would put me out of my computer misery (thinks i'm to geeky) if I built another one.

Fed-Ex came today, I was excited. I opened the box and I was dejected. It was the right processor, but the 1U heat sink was for an HP. It is waaaaaay too wide for the Dell. I had to start making arrangements to return it. Rats, rats, rats !! Back to the drawing board to find the proper processor and the right size heat sink.
----------------------------------------BTW - Nice totals Bearcat  Cheers

Good luck on the hunt. Maybe you can get lucky and snag a pair of higher chips. I used to run the 2.5 ghz ones. Not much more juice to run them. Looks to be another good day for points. This morning stats show 100000 points already. Should thin out my PV jail.
