IIRC, all e5300's are R0 stepping (hence 65W). These should be very very good clockers. I know my e5200 R0 pulled about 800ppd crunching @ 3.6Ghz.
 
Awesome Deal, too good to pass up. $18.98 for a nice upgrade to my girlfriend's computer.
 
Wish I had a use for this. Would snatch one up quick if I did. Nice find.

For that price, I know I will find a use for it somewhere :laugh:
 
Too good to pass up. In for 1.

Just wait, this will be all over ebay in like a week lol
 
Just got a refund. "Note from merchant Pricing error"

The price is now listed at $59.99. Oh well.
 
My status is "on-hold" right now so i could see myself getting a refund soon :( Hope not though.
 
I couldn't use it anyway... my board only takes 65nm

Damn! I'm on-hold also.:banghead: It would have truly been a great deal.

Maybe well get lucky since we submitted our orders really early.

I wanna replace my pentium e6300 wolfdale with this e5300 and then sell my e6300. Shouldnt see to much of a loss in performace with this downgrade. Just use my rig for media, web, and school papers anyways.

Same here. I was going to sell my Q9550 and use the E5300 for surfing/basic applications(as well as clock the piss out of it:laugh:). I find the Q9550 to be overkill unless your running DC applications.
 
Ill make sure to post here if my order gets cancelled or if my status changes.
 
Shoot. Just got a refund, was hoping that my order might have slipped by.
 
just got a refund on my two also...
 
Damn I just got a refund on the 200 I bought...
