Hello.
I think my CPU is officially on its death bed. Had random system lock ups for months now, and changed everything except the CPU itself including RAM, graphics card and motherboard.
Trouble is, its an Athlon XP 3000+ @ 2.16GHz, 333FSB, Socket A/462. I can't find anywhere that stocks this stuff any more, other than eBay, but they're asking silly money even for used ones. The prices they're asking, I might as well buy new if I could find a reliable supplier.
Moving to a newer CPU isn't an option since that'd involve buying a new motherboard, new RAM and possible a PCIE graphics card as well, on top of the cost of a new CPU.
Other than that, anyone got a spare one kicking about that they might be willing to sell?
