We all have chips we would like to have. When you eventually find one you are looking for, you sometimes realise how long you have been waiting and looking! Not long ago I got a Pentium Pro SY014. I had been looking for 2 years. Rolling Eyes

Thats funny Qwerty, But you never know you might get really lucky and hook up with that chip. I havent waited any long times yet for any chip i want yet, but im sure i will, because im starting to get most of the common ones i like collected already, thats when it starts to get tough to find the more rare ones that we want.
