Like I said previously, I'm not judgemental.

Yeah, if i had some chips laying around I would just send one. Practically all of my older stuff got pitched and trashed in a recent move.

At 16 the only thing we had was the commodore 64 and that Apple thing .
But I had rooms filled with stereos and record players and T.V.s tape plays as well . Man I am OLD

i just tried the alcohole trick.
Doesnt seem to work.
I used alcohol that was in our first aid kit.
It said pure alcohole "For medical use only"-i think i can category it as an technical-medical emergency.

I offer a Pentiusm 4 2.8GHz for a AMD Athlon 2400 @ 2 GHz or up.
Ill pay shipping for both.

Maybe i should create a extra post for this.
But i dont feel like!!!

I've got an Athlon XP-M 2600+, it is a mobile processor, but works in standard Socket A motherboards.

It has been sitting in my basement for years in a pile of laptop parts that I never got around to selling.

It is yours if you pay shipping.

Well, the processor I thought I had turned out to be thrown out a while ago, as was the pile of laptop parts.

But I found a 2900+ instead.
