Hi guys, I am in the market for used Xeon CPUs (for a dual CPU motherboard). I see excellent prices for the X5500 and X5600 series. I have been checking out numerous online vendors that sell these CPUs and I have also been monitoring eBay auctions. Wherever I find low prices, they are marked as any of the following:
Factory Refurbished
Seller Refurbished
New Bulk
New Bulk Pack
New Pulls
For each one of the above, (especially the bottom three), could you please state:
1- What does it basically mean?
2- Is that condition reliable?
3- Will it will perform very similar to a brand new one?
