If E8400 nowhere to be found, then here the replacement chip....http://www.google.com/search?source...57&q=INTEL+XEON+PROCESSOR+E3110+3GHZ+1333+MHZ

For the 1000th time...if your board will run the E8400 it will run this 775 socket Xeon CPU. For all intents and purposes there is ZERO difference between these CPUs.

Funny...I have used no less than 11 Xeon CPUs over the last 3 years and I have never had an issue with them. DFI, Asus, Abit, Gigabyte boards of varying models and BIOS releases with absolutely no problems.
I just ordered the X3110 from buy.com so we will see if this makes 12.
It should work in higher end, quality mainboards. Those should have a proper BIOS that supports the Xeon processors. However I wouldn't use a Xeon CPU in a extreme budget rig with some $65 board.
does the xeon run cooler?
I was too wondering this.
If we consider that any xeon will work where any C2D will work(subject to personal opinion) is their any advantage to either processor?
I was under the assumption that because of slight differences in between server vs home application, that the xeon was always slower in a gaming rig, but always much faster for I/O type applications(server)
Has anyone noticed or benchmarked The E8400 and the Xeon 3110 in the same system and noticed any performance differences?
its speculation but they say since they are xeon they are better overclockes and hand voltage better and need less volts because somehow they are made better since they are xeon
the same thing was said about the optys with amd, might be coincidence but out of all the amd chips I had the optys were always the best clockers.
Might not be much validity to it all but thats kind of the consensus. I ahve a xeon 3110 on the way from buy.com for 189.40 shipped. we shall see how it does.
lol well aside from you SAYING SO nothign was ever made clear about why this is.
what is the difference between what amd did and what intel is doing with the xeons. If you know somethign we dont please tell, i would like to know how you know that. I am not saying your wrong I just would liek to know how you know for sure,
Dan_D, I think you're going up against a never ending battle here.
This cpu is an alternative to E8400.
Overclocked the same as any decent batch of E8400. Nothing less, nothing more.
Purchased the Xeon E3110 from Buy.com, $198 shipped. Received it in ONE day.
The Xeon listed as LGA775 was sold out. There was another one listed as a Socket 771 which nobody was buying . I knew better that any 3XXX Xeon wasn't 771 so I bought it anyway. Sure enough, the Xeon E3110 LGA775 showed up the next day.
Updated my ASUS P5N32-SLI and I now have the equivalent to the E8400.
This is by far the best deal I've seen on a processor in a long time, maybe ever.
I had a Xeon 3060 before this (2.4 GHz) and there is a surprisingly noticable difference playing Half Life 2 with the 3010 (3.0 GHz).
I could have overclocked the 3060 but that would be too easy. I once had it to 3.2 GHz but I don't like the added heat and voltage.
From posts that I've seen, Buy.com is shipping Q746A534 to the people that bought the "LGA775" E3110s. Since you bought the one listed as a Socket 771, I was just curious as to what they shipped you.
