 Posted: Sun Apr 02, 2006 11:57 pm Post subject: What was the first chip you ever collected |
 |
|
| I'll start it out. The first chip I ever collected was an Intel pentium sx835. I found it in a donated computer I was scrapping for my school. (We were a private school without much dough so all our computers were old ones donated by companies for tax write offs) I thought it was so cool with its huge gold top that I kept it. It got me started and whenever I threw out a computer I would keep the proc. It also gave me a penchant for FDIV pentiums |

The first chip i've ever collected was an IBM PC XT model 5160, which used a AMD D8088 (not an Intel xD)

Sure this is repeat thread ;o)
Mine wasn't a spur of the moment, "I'll start collecting chips" and there was 1 in particular.
I had a collection before i even started collecting really... but to giv u an idea I'll post a pic of what my collection looked like in early life.

The one to start it all of was a Pentium Pro 200 that i ripped from a scrapped server at work about a year ago. I got impressed with that heavy piece of chip that i started looking for more. And here we are 298 chips later...

Sounds bad if you are describing them as a bit Pat Butcher  Does that give them pride of place in your display cabinet? LOL
What are the earrings?

There where some Pentium earrings very similar to my cuff links, on eBay that i tipped sammyc about. My thought was that the seller couldīnt differ the earrings from cufflinks since they looked exactly the same.

They do look similar, but they certainly aren't cuff links.
