10 Years Ago Today

I use to do that with my old processors. If they have pins, use a small bench grinder. The pins will heat up, unsolder themselves from the chip and fly right off. Ram works well for a key chain too.
 
Loved the Keychains!!!

Comon you guys! Slap something into the heat torture test with no fan! :p
 
Oh crap, I remember this. Have I really been visiting the [H] that long?
 
This was my keychain for many years. Wish I could find where I put it.

LOL @ Am386DX-40. I had a PcChips mobo with one of those. Got it as a gift from a friend, it was from scraps of one of his friends. It worked flawlessly, but I couldn't find much to do with it besides seeing that Linux really worked on a 386. This was around 1998.
 
Hey Steve, didn't your Iguana (RIP) eat one of those??? :D
 
lol you just gave me a good idea for all the AMD server proc's in servers I have to decom. due to server refresh. Thanks!
 
Steve, I clicked that article in your post, and when I click to read the story about the untimely death of the 4.2 ghz chip, it doesn't show up, just says page not found.

But that 4.4 ghz story was awesome! I was hoping to read about the phase changing world record.
 
I had the gold Intel Pentium keychain. A friend's brother was an Intel rep back in the 90's, I got it from him. They used Pentium 60/66 dies for it.
