the child of the "how many..."-poll
lol

single chips, boards and portable computers count.
I'd take
my Intellec 4 CPU mod with the grey 4004,
the UPP103 CPU mod with the C4040,
the SN514B
maybe the MOS 6502 white or the KIM-1, hard to say
...
and all I could pick up fast enough, so my count is near 3.

Threads like this are fun.

I would grab my IBM/LockHeed Martin RAD6000 engineering samples and the Q029 I just got Smile

Luckily i would grab my one display of them and i should escape with a few hundred chips, but i must admit that i would be going for my motorcycle first, since i like it more and its definatly worth more, hmmm altho it is insured and my chips arent.

Not sure i would go for the chips at first... Think i will go for my Limited Pentium Pro belt buckle. Since its limited to 1000 pcs i would believe its more rare than anything else in my collection i think. Then i go for my box of ES chips

(No, the chips in the picture are not ES)

Its just the buckle, not sure it was made to wear, the two chips are mounted without protection.

none myself. It's not that I don't have many chips, I just try not to be bound by physical belongings as they tend to come and go. Well, if I had plenty of time I'd try to get my boxed Atari 65XE Smile

ps. nice buckle, man! Probably one of about 1000 buckles that consists of more than 5 million small parts

If I didn't need to worry about rescue of people and animals, then the only possible answer is...

ALL OR NONE! We will all get out safe, or die in the attempt! No, I am just kidding. Very Happy

Since my chips are in storage boxes of 24, it would take more time to save less than 24, because I would have to stop, open the box, look at the chip, select a chip... better to grab the whole box.
