How about socket 1366?Any decent 6 or 8 core Xeons? I've got an old i7 920 in one.
Yep, rocking an X5650 @ 4.4Ghz here, absolutely cracking chip!

Main reason that would put a lot of people off is the lack of overclocking. However if you weren't looking to do that anyway then you may as well save some pennies
I ised to run a 1230v3 and its was perfectly fine.
Better performance than an i5 but not as good as an i7. For the price it was perfect.
No onboard gpu so must use a gpu also no overclocking.
Runs cooler and larger cache runs brilliant.
