Firstly, sorry for the "advertising" but I desperately need an old secondhand CPU

details:
Socket 462
Athlon/Sempron/Athlon XP (no Duron!!)
min speed about 1800+

basically, leftover cpu from an upgrade or something.. its for my old router box - the cpu fried recently and I dont really need a brand new one. Something that *works* that is just lying around is perfect.

Ideally, I'd like to collect in Centurion or Pretoria area.

please pm me if you can help out or know someone that has a spare cpu lying around..

Thanks in advance

You're close enough to Corex (in Kyalami business park) in Midrand for it to be worth your while checking them out; they've got a display case round the side of the support/customer service desk where they've got all manner of old/retired formerly new stock.

I was there last week checking 'em out looking for just such a beast, I can't recall the details of exactly what they DO have there, but they have got AMD CPUs as silly (low) prices.

Dead simple: you go into Kyalami office park, uphill from the entrance to the actual racetrack and just keeeeep on truckin' brutha! :D ..seriously though, they're right at the end of the main entrance road, at the end of many, MANY speedbumps and a few traffic circles. Just at the very end one (as in there's NO MORE road to go), you go ~2/3 round (1 o'clock from your entry position) and they're right in front of you.

..which is entirely correct, and may arguably be a more correct/relevant answer to the question *as asked* ..but doesn't help a whole hellova lot with actually getting to them! :rolleyes: I know (from your published details) that you're in CPT and may/not know the area, but that biz park is more than large enough with WAY too many turn-offs dotted all over the damn place to manage to entirely miss the place you're looking for!

Anyhow, enough being a smart-arse and doing something useful! :D
