Looking for another Xeon for a personal project and I'm trying to keep costs down... so if you have one you want to upgrade or get rid of let me know

None of the ES steppings will do what I need, unfortunately

What do you need that they don't have ?

E5-2630 retail $634 http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16819117268

Get one of our Califormia buds to ship it over to the land who are ranking behind NZ in the medal standings

Haha AU not doing so impressively this time around either... :/

Surprisingly that is about what they retail for here, too...

I'll be in your fair country next weekend, hopping across the Tasman for a week with the Family.
Got a week of cruising around Sydney, up to Newcastle, check out some grapejuice up the Hunter, down to Katoomba and home again.

Where are you based ?

Whoops, missed this - needs to work in a dual-socket motherboard with another processor present and work with VT-D... so far I'm not aware of any ES processor which meets those criteria.

We're in Newcastle! Well, a little bit out in the boonies but close enough That sounds like a lovely trip - it'll be cold in Katoomba at this time of year... it's not too bad in the Hunter at the moment so long as it doesn't rain on you

Cold, we live at Lake Ohau in the South Island, Cold is what we thrive on, got down to -12 the other day.
Sampling wine can be done inside, so let the heavens open, were in a campervan so can sleep the effects of if need be in the car park.
Any suggestions of a good winery that is not mainstream, a hidden gem ?

Not studied E5 ES's too closely for VT-d (but I'm sure a doctor can prescribe an ointment to make it go away )

-12! Goodness. I thought it was cold here at the moment...

I'm not much help when it comes to wineries, unfortunately - I haven't been near one for almost 10 years apart from one trip up to the vineyards for a weekend last year... despite going to the vineyards we didn't actually make it to any wineries, just enjoyed the scenery, quiet and lack of mobile reception. Being uncontactable for a few days is a lovely thing.

How much time are you spending in Newcastle? I could probably make a couple more recommendations as to what to eat around here if you're spending any significant amount of time here!
