CPUs for Africa...

Post by Mobius »

I have a pile of 90MHz Pentium CPUs sitting here:

PCPU3V90 SZ995
ICOMP INDEX=735
L5211025-0465
INTEL (M)'92'93


I've found quite a few specs on them, but what I really want is the Transistor count for these cores.

I'm putting them inside small picture frames and selling them as novelty geek gifts. I made a bunch of old EDO-RAM ones, and they sold like hot-cakes! I'm figuring the CPUs in frames will sell for around $50 or so. The EDOs rocketed out the door at $35 each!

I also have a (personal) supply of 8" IBM floppies from 1981, and a large collection of 5" floppies with DOS 3.0, 5.0, WordPerfect, and even Windows 3.0!!

I'll be tripping out to our farm this week to recover memory modules, CPUs and BIOS chips from about 30 old computers. I'll also raid my very first computer of its memory: 128 chips of 2114 RAM - that 512Bytes per chip!! (And they cost about $20 each in the early 80's IIRC. HEH.
