I use a chainsaw 
Seriously though, regarding the Pentium TCP, if you have that much storage space available, I see no reason to destroy a board that may be useful one day just to get at a chip that is in fact relatively common.
If the PPC is a working board, I would keep that intact as well. If the board (or CPU) is dead, I would desolder it.

Keep the boards! You could have regrets in the future!
From: a guy who now have regrets because he desoldered all chips years ago.

| I've desoldered a PPC from the exact same board. Came off no problems, but don't use too much heat with your hot air gun because the greeny-blue surface will start to blister. And be careful after it's off because the pins are very delicate. |

The solution is the apply the heatgun BEHIND the chip. The chip will slide off and the Blue plastic won't be affected.  |

I use metal shears like this on regular boards..>
On really thick boards, a hacksaw works. |
