Hi, I've just purchased a Proliant 3000 with no processors, VRMs etc. On Ebay I've found a couple of P3-600 MHz Katmai SL3JM with VRMs ripped from a couple of Proliant 1850R servers (~100 USD, is that fair?). I'm not entirely sure that the Processors and VRMs will fit into the 3000, so I *really*...
