[QUOTE="markusaurileus, post: 1555945, member: 290099"] Hi, looking around ebay for either a Xeon W3670 3.2GHz or W3680 3.33GHz hexa core. Would be upgrading from a W3530 2.8GHz quad in a 2010 Mac Pro. I have a few questions, since I'd rather know ahead of time. :D 1. Besides clock speed, the difference between the 3670 and 3680 is that the lower supports 1066MHz and the higher is 1333MHz. Is this correct? 2. What should I pay for a used tho working 6-core? 3. International shipping. What to expect from this, and what are the cautions? I'm not the best with eBay, and have always dealt with US transactions. 4. Is there a particular version of these CPUs that I must use in a Mac Pro? Initially, I was under the impression that a socket is a socket is a socket, as long it's the right one, but now I see extra info (example: SLBVE COSTA RICA 3.20GZ / 12M / 4.80 3035A996). 5. Is there anything else I am missing? Thanks in advanced for any help! [/QUOTE]
