AMD quad-core chip hits compatibility snag

[screwballl]

Thats cool and I am pretty much the same. I still have 2 strong AthlonXP systems running here. I have 2 Core2Duo systems and then the oddball dell Pentium4

Haha, yea it's kinda the same over here... my dads got an AM2 6000+, I've got a Core2Quad system and a Core2Duo Mac mini (T5600 Socket M proc) and my sister has an LGA775 3.2Ghz Pentium 4 Dell that I rebuilt for her.

We've got quite the family of processors! (as do you!!! )

i've always been an intel boy and prob will continue with intel.
From the old Pentium to P3 to P4 to now the C2Duos. With a plethora of Pentium M chips between lol

I learned early on to buy what is the performance king at the time of the build. Regardless if it is Intel, AMD or Cyrix, I bought whetever was the speed demon of the time.

just FYI, i still have a fully functional SLOT A 1GHZ AMD Athlon Classic. thats right, the first chip to break the gigahert barrier

NO! Keychains! I bet you could make some money by drilling holes in the corners and selling them on ebay!

If you're going to toss 'em, send them my way instead (I'll reimburse for shipping).

Right on Simple!!!! Had one of those for a short time, until I started using the socket type board. Sold the dang thing only about 3 years ago LOL

Have you ever tried to drill through an old pentium chip
Pretty much need a Cobalt drill bit running very slow to do it

I can do that... are you wanting specific parts and pieces or the whole cases and all? These are the heavier steel cases so we would be looking at $20 per case and I have 6 or 7 of them. Not sure what does and doesn't work and what parts they have. they have just been sitting there for a few years collecting dust.
It wouldn't take me long to part them out for you (and the wife would be grateful for getting rid of the "computer junk").

Send me a PM Paul and let me know what works for you.
