Attach a handle and use it as a brush (pins) for your dog or cat...

Don't have one.


And I don't wear belts

Whoa, don't go drilling holes in these chips and mounting them on a keychain as they contain arsenic. Continual contact can be toxic. There's a reason why you don't see old cpu's on keychains being sold commercially...

I hope you have a clear side case. if you do-then find a clear area on yor mobo and glue it there. then you can show it off to your freinds and tell them you got dual core cpu/mobo.
one in the middle needs fan the other dont, works better than the other.

How would you turn it into a power botton??

Gold Recovery?

Holy crap, are those pentium pros working? Used to be quite expensive back in the day, dual cpu capable? Heck, if they work and you could find a supply of cheap old motherboards, you could put together some cheap pcs and sell them to people for like $50 a piece.

Keychain.

 

[fstime]

Write Pentium 5 on it and sell it to a pawn shop.

I have no clue...given that the description says that they're for "gold recovery only" I'm guessing either no, or mostly no with maybe a few that do still work.

It does make me wondor how much the gold would be worth if you just cut off all the pins and melted them down...several hundred an ounce?

Are the pins solid gold or just gold plated?

 

[Rike]

I'd lay down good money saying it's plated only; just a few atoms thick.

I thought they were solid, but I don't know, it seems like that would make CPU's even more expensive...although I had a HDD once where one of the gold IDE pins broke off, and it didn't seem to be plated as far as I could tell (unless it was gold plating on some gold colored metal)...it looked solid all the way through.

EDIT: maybe somebody who's been unlucky enough to have a CPU pin break off can give us an answer?
