That doesn't seem too bad a price really, since it probably is considered custom "one-off" work. I wish there was some way to "homebrew solderstation" at home. I'd probably be killing stuff left and right, but at least it would be creative...
I mean... who wouldn't want to try and make a DDR dimm using old video card memory. Sure it's only a 64mb DIMM, but the memory is rated for 300+mhz right? Sure CAS 5 sucks but.. 
But yea, do post how it comes out, good or bad! Even if nobody else is interested, just seeing the equipment and attempts is awesome to me.
If/when you get your rework arts perfected. Just.. wow. You could so be a hero for retro-hardware people. I keep thinking things like "hey, now my Slot A Athlon Classic can have faster cache, 1:1" etc.
 And how slow of me, I just realized. SGI... took me long enough eh?  |

Just sent the parts of to the guy that is going to do the socket install for me.
Should have it back for testing in a week or two.

|

I admire you for keeping your trusty old hardware going and taking on this project. There were a couple of custom 1Ghz socketed MMC2s on eBay 2 years ago for $150 each but they had some minor problems you can read about at forum.thinkpads.com/viewtopic.php?f=6&t=71095
I wonder if you could upgrade the cheaper P2 MMC2s with a 1Ghz BGA? |

Thanks Chromedia for the link, interesting. Here I though I was the only one trying this!
Got a bunch of older stuff laying around and like to mod/upgrade as much as I can.
The module is out and when it returns and is working I will update the post. |

Looking forward to your update.
Re: my question about the PII mmc2 : short answer is they're not upgradeable because the mmc2 750mhz and above have bigger capacitors that a 1ghz chip would need.
