Computer Update.

From the “Dual CPU goodness” Dept.

I finally received my cpus.

It’s funny, I ordered two identical cpus (Athlon 1600+ XPs), but when I opened the box, they were different colours.

I took the time to expose the L5 bridges today—nervous work. I took a pin an physically scratched the surface of the CPU. I also scrubbed the area with Isopropyl Alcohol (99% pure) to clean the surface.

I also bought my case, PSU and Rear Defogger Repair kit (to mod the cpus).

It’s all coming together.

Waiting on my heatsinks, thermal gel and ram.

Getting excited.
