I'm a new member here, but it seems every time I try to identify a processor, I type in the model number into google and sure enough CPU world is always the top one on the list. This site is just too damn handy and so I've been collecting computers from the local dump and have accumulated a few processors.

I noticed a lot of the processors I look up on here are in fact documented, but not many have pictures. Well this is why I signed up, I want to help out around here and start putting pictures in with my nice fujifilm camera. mmmm everyone loves macro shots right?

When the administrator approves my pictures I'll post links to the ones I've updated. I hope I can be of help!

Otherwise this is a great site for images... http://www.chipdb.org/ Wink But adding more images here is a great idea too. Anything that contributes to the community are welcome!

I have quite a few cpu's, some rather common, and a couple really oldies. I'll put some pictures up after supper.

Also, I forgot to ask. Would using a scanner be better than trying to take macro shots of the processor? Perhaps that's what I'll use instead for my smaller cpu's.

Oh yeah and has anyone ever though of adding a section for old mems??

an Intel/GeForce Mac? nah, 'tis not a Mac anymore IMO. A proper Mac is a Motorola one Smile

I just tried to use my scanner today to scan in a AMD 333 and it's out of focus in some areas where it's raised, is there a way to trick the scanner into focusing??

You need a scanner which uses CCD. You probably have a scanner with CIS which have very limited depth of field. So when scanning objects go for CCD. http://www.photo.epson.co.uk/technology/scanners/ccd.htm

Ran into the same problem back in 2005 when i started scanning: http://www.cpu-world.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=1994

If I can get a half decent tripod for my digital camera and some good white lighting, I could get some stellar pictures.
