Great replacment for an i7-920

Bought this CPU as the 900 range of intel processors is out of production and hard to find an upgrade for cheap. I had an intel i7-920 (lowest i7 launch chip). Been wanting to upgrade for a couple of years but the higher spec compatible i7s just never came down in price. Eventually I read about the xenon goldmine. Every generation they'll be a partcular xenon that is used in servers based on it's performance/cost. I searched all compatible xenons and low and behold this beauty pops up at under £20. Works fine, no drama with it. Have it at stock speeds (which for me is fine).

If you're considering this as an upgrade, rememeber to use a graphics card (Xenons don't have inbuilt graphics)
