CPU Collection

[psych0fish]

A few weeks back i got the idea to start a cpu collection. Right now it only consists of cpus i had laying around at home and at work. I'm going to build onto it with cpus from ebay, thrift store, friends, etc.

I've got more to add but i havn't had a chance to go get them and catalog them.

Its a small collection, but its a start.

Thought you guys might like a look.

Well i currently have about 200 on my list, but thats mostly just desktop cpus.

I'm at 28 right now and i can probably hit 40 by the end of the week with one coming in from ebay and a few more and work.

Cool, it sounds like something i'd like to do but i bet most of the older ones are a bugger to get hold of.

Do you have a P133 or similar? I have one if you really need it.

thats a very good question. I found it in our junk room (for computer related junk) at work.

Very nice keep us posted on how your collection goes.

It's not actually as big as it looks. It's in a SECC (single edge contact catridge) which sat upright on the motherboard, and the square in the middle is the CPU.

Nice collection, by the way.

Nope, sorry. Don't have a 2.6Ghz. I've got a 2.8a Ghz, but i might be using it to build an actual computer.

Also, I just added these to my collection.

Yes, i'm very interested. I looked at the auction though, and it already ended. I contacted the seller to see if they would re-list.

You poor, poor soul.

Those are the ones which, on the tower, had a turbo button that set the processor back to 8MHz to run older programs regularily. Otherwise they would run too fast!
