To some people, they might be worth a lot. I know there will come a day where I'll want to build an old, but really good Win98 machines to play old games like Descent II and FreeSpace 2, which I miss very dearly. And when that day comes, I may find myself willing to pay whatever I have to in order to acquire the parts.

So, I guess what I was trying to say was that these may be worth something to somebody, and the price may depend on how badly the person wants one of them.

Mine was on-topic. I was trying to make a point that even though it would generally be hard to sell them, they're still worth selling because somebody may want to make an offer to build a system sorta like the one I was talking about (but newer, of course).

OCCT is indeed easy to use. But with OCCT's Linpack test, even if it never locks up, I don't know if it's truly stable because I don't know the "Residual" and "Residual (norm)" numbers after each pass. There's no information on this in the graphs. You see, if any of the "Residual" numbers are different, then there's instability. But if they're all precisely the same, then it's stable. In LinX, that information is always visible, and therefore it's easier to use But with OCCT, I'm forced to guess based on whether or not my system makes it after a certain amount of time, and that's not good enough. Furthermore, the Linpack test in OCCT is far less customizable. Another benefit with LinX is that I can control more aspects of the Linpack test.
So, after comparing all 3, I strongly prefer LinX just because as far as the software and options go, it's the best one. It's certainly not that the testing is any better because it's still just the Linpack test (given the obvious differences due to the increased control with LinX).

Ah I see, didn't know that. I'll have to give LinX a try then. Thanks for the info +rep

So, everyone: how about some more appraisals for the two CPUs? Or is c00lkatz right on the money with this one?
