Looking for a used Core 2 Quad. Must support VT, prefer 1333FSB and over 2.5Ghz

Would you be interested in an enthusiast chip, the Q9550S ES?
See http://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=40323 (http://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=40323).

I got a q9550 I wouldn't mind parting with for about 250 shipped...even includes a 'custom' heatsink [it's actually just a replacement for my stock 1]...

A i5-2500k costs a lot less than that and dismembers that CORE2Q chip in all benchmarks to boot.

Recommended Customer Price   $266 - $287

Lowered because it is used.

Why 250? Because it's held it's value for over 3 years now.

Also, the i5-2500k is running on a different socket. =/

If you are only using this for vm's, and not 24/7 4 core usage, look at an e8500. Supports vt-d and vt-x, and they are less than $100.
