Not quite current CPU sources

[Colin McGregor]

I am looking for a Socket A (aka: Socket 462) AMD CPU chip / heat-sink
/fan (i.e.: Athlon XP chips)... Who in the city sells these not-quite
current CPU chips?

Bit of background, last month I bought an ASUS M2N-MX SE PLUS (with an
appropriate AM2 CPU / memory / etc), which was shipped defective as
far as I was concerned, the MAC address for the built in network port
was b5:52:17:C6:1f:00 (for those who don't know why this is defective,
look up multicast MAC addresses). This meant this motherboard was
TOTALLY useless for the one reason I got this motherboard (a diskless
front end box for my MythTV system). I have grumbled loudly at ASUS,
got an RMA number, and as I write the motherboard is in transit to
ASUS to get fixed.

In the mean time I want a diskless box ASAP, and I am in no mood to
spend anything more than pocket change to get said box running
(spending bucks to ship a defective motherboard has left me feeling a
bit grumpy). I have gotten a used (and long story, but free)
motherboard that uses Socket A (aka: Socket 462) CPUs. I hope, but
have not tested, the motherboard, so I hope works. My goal is to have
the client up and running by the end of this weekend. This way I will
have something until ASUS repairs their motherboard...

So, back to the start point, suggestions as to who would have Socket A
(aka: Socket 462) CPUs for dirt cheap?

Thanks.
