It is? I've never thought of buying a used CPU.



Nor have I. I've never bought or thought about buying a used computer
nor any computer component. I'm not interested in saving a few dollars
if it increases the risk of problems.


Nor have I. I've built and upgraded dozens and dozens of PCs over the
years, for myself and others, and never once have I considered selling or
buying a used processor. The feature being discussed in this thread would
have no effect on me.


And it has to fit the board, anyway. I paid about $65
for my current 8-core, 3.3 GHz AMD. Why buy used?
Though I have noticed that prices seem to have
gone crazy. I wonder why? They seem to start at $200+
these days.
