    Okay, this isn't even funny. This is just plain taking the piss:

    AMD K6 2 450Mhz Chip
    K6-2/450 with 3DNow! 100Mhz 64K Cache Bulk x 35 pieces

    €560.00

    And do you know the worst thing of all? I bet there's some poor sap out there who knows nothing at all about computers who has actually bought from these con-artists!

    They make Arfur Daley look legitimate! :mad:


    [Edit]Whoops, sorry, I just noticed that that's for 35 of them, not just one. My mistake! Still, though, as someone said, hardly what you'd call "cutting edge". Look at the prices for their laptops, even. I know people who have sold much higher specced systems for those kind of prices.[/Edit]

    Depends largely on the cooling solution and interconnection used.
    You pack them as closely as you can while keeping them withint operating temperature parameters all year round.
