Come on...The existance of this thread is just a demonstration
of ignorance...P3 700Mhz Xeons are EXPENSIVE. These aren't the
same as standard Coppermine Xeons. They have MUCH more cache
(512K, 1Mb or 2Mb depending on the particular processor) and
are VERY expensive. Are they overpriced? Certainly...Intel prices
these for the enterprise market...
Now, $2100 is NOT a good price on the P3/700/1Mb Xeon, but that's
what happens when you get an HP "branded" Xeon. Still, $2K is
not an uncommon price for P3/700/2M Xeons. Hell, I sold a couple
of them on eBay for around $1600 each (open box) just a couple of
months ago.
