Hmm Maybe I have a few you might be interested in. To name a couple I have a Ti overdrive chip the fits over the top on an intel 386 and turns it into a 486 50MHz. (fully functional). And I have a NexGen like the one in your personalize picture (special nexgen mobo required).

Ohhhhhhhhh, NexGens are my favorite chips Smiley Do you want to sell it with the mobo maybe? I have a whole NexGen section: http://www.alphatek.info/nexgen/ but it's in french.

Do you collect only x86 ?

If not, I might have some CPU's around that I don't need anymore.
(DEC Alpha 21164-433, MIPS R4000, R4400, R5000)

I also own some 30-40 older x86 CPU's, but you'll likely have those already...

I try only to collect x86 CPUs because it's already a big domain Smiley
But I also own some Alphas and I have a fully working PC164LX + EV56 533 based Alpha system working. But as I say, NexGens are the "graal" for me, they mean something very special to me.

In fact I've never seen the mobo that goes with these LCC (Leadless Chip Carrier) packaged chips, but as the name suggests, there is a high chance that they had an LGA775-type connector.

I just took a look at my "new" PC and found the CPU was a x86 you don't have in your collection.

Are you interested in it?

Nice CPU collection. One of my favourite CPU's is my Harris 80286 @ 20MHz  Smiley. I see you've got one too Grin .

About this CPU :
...

There are a few CPU's which use this packaging. My question is, how to install this CPU :?
It doens't have any pins to hold on so do you have pictures of the socket on the motherboard :?
Maybe it has the same system as LGA775 ?



that's an Intel 80186 CPU @ 6Mhz Smiley from 1982  Lips Sealed

I also still have my NEAT (New Enhanced AT) mainboard with an Harris 20MHZ (25 when turbo button pressed). I remember the tons of options like hardware EMS and stuff. And pressing INSERT while resetting after misconfiguration to restore default BIOS values. Too bad that i 'converted' the sim's (those with pins) to normal sim's (so they fit in my 486) so i only have the normal 1MB onboard (in single chips) on the NEAT mb.

Regards,
Andreas

Don't plug more than 128MB in your EPoX Obi-Wan Smiley

Could it be that Descent 3 (just downloaded the demo) uses the same engine as FreeSpace 2 and Red Faction? Configuration looks so similar but i don't find anything on volition-inc.com.

Regards,
Andreas

well I won something really old, 2 Dino-Rider's Retail 100% complete Cheesy from the ICE AGE series, that's the final phase in collections of the Dino-Rider series. they are authentic 1/24 scale models, so infact i declare them as models and not toys , oh well, they do have tons of detail.

here my 2 new additions to my 29 part Dino-Rider collection:

Dino-Riders ICE AGE Killer Warthog with Zar:
http://cgi.ebay.nl/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=8625&item=6172718453&rd=1
...
...
...

Dino-Riders ICE AGE Saber Tooth Tiger with Kub:
http://cgi.ebay.de/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=5970698803&ed=1114817620000&ss...
...
...
...

and man I am happier than even I have been looking for more that 15 to 16 years for these two models!!! they are extreemly rare Tongue

When they arrive I will surely make a hole photography of my whole 31 part Dino-Rider collection Wink
