You should find, if ever made, some red memory modules!
I haven't replied in this topic for a long time so here are some interesting pics:
Intel Xeon 'Irwindale' engineering samle. It's probably an early sample without markings and made on 90nm process with 2MB L2-cache. CPU-z (and the CPUID string in the CPU) indicate an Intel Xeon for socket mPGA604 but this is an LGA775 CPU. It runs hot at 3733MHz (which is default), somewhat unstable and is compatible with very few motherboards.
Just a normal Athlon64 3500+ for S939 but I like the shot with the stickers.
2400MHz AMD Opteron engineering sample (Opteron 2216) which is made almost a year before the actual introduction date. I have two of these (but then 2.6GHz 2218's) running in my server which is going great!
I like the bottom because it's completely flat. CPU's like LGA771/5 and LGA1156/1366 always have SMD chips on the back.
An old top-CPU! Doesn't clock well, though but for the 44th week of 2003 it's not so bad.
Normal Opteron but I like the way how the logo is combined with the CPU.
It's brother.
Normal Athlon XP 2400+.
I bought this CPU to replace my 1700+. It did 2.7GHz using watercooling!
The 1700+ I mentioned before. It never ran at it's default clockspeed and is always been overclocked. I had it running for years despite the CPU is retired it's still indestructible and going strong!
Mobile Athlon 4 with Palomino core. Most normal CPU's with Palomino core (Athlon XP that is) have organic packaging instead of ceramic. The square shaped core looks cool
.
Not exactly hardware but the booklet of a Pentium III Xeon 667.
And to end a classic AMD Athlon 500:
