They are ES - be sure you are comfortable with that (both technically and ethically) before you buy.

This is the same seller who had them listed for $225 last month. $191 is getting close to a reasonable price. Wish he'd entertain offers on his listings...

That seller is legit in case you're wondering. I've bought ES from them before. Also, they DO take offers, you just have to email them. That being said, their special sale price is usualy as low as they'll go. Once it expries though, you can email them the same price and they'll give it to you.

I can't justify it really. Almost 200 for an extra core, 2 extra threads and the same speed (MHz) as a L5520...considering a L5520 with only 4 cores is < 50 bucks, the L5530 can be had for 80 - 100...paying almost double seems silly even though part of me wants to. Depends on what you're going to use them for I guess.
