As title really, CPU is well and truly dead.
Pushing 1.52v through it maybe wasn't such a good idea after all.
Perhaps I sub-consciously killed it to try and justify an IB CPU to the missus when they are released...who knows.
Anyways, I need a cheapo replacement until IB arrives. It would be silly to buy a new 2500K now or even a second hand one, since I'll be having a 3570K in less than a month (if the rumours are to be believed).
Any suggestions? I was thinking along the lines of this:

£47, and will keep the machine ticking over for now. Obviously I know I'll be taking a pretty major performance hit, but I can live with it for a few weeks if necessary.
