identifying a cpu

[Tens0r]

i need help here.

ive got hold of a bag of cpus from a scrap metal dealer . (they melt them for the gold etc) for free i mite add.

there all intel pentium with mmx. i just wish to find ther mhz rating.

on the chips one reads.

bp80503166
sl2fp/2.8v
malay
l7401905-0822

and of course the copyrights and title (intel pentium)

[_N_]

bp80503166 = bp80503 166
the last three letters are the clock speed, 166MHz, they go for about 10-20$ on trademe each,

or, maybe I suppose, you could have actually gone onto the intel website (hint, www.intel.com)
and typed in the spec (SL2FP) into the search box and you would get this link:

http://www.intel.com/design/pentium/QIT/DATABASE/sl2fp.htm

and it tells you all the info that you might ever need right there

:rolleyes: :D

thanks dude :D

how do you identify this ram.

ive figured out its ti ram. which is texas industries or sumthing like that.

but the chip reads

TI korea -70
z417400 g
gag 443400

i looked round ther site but couldnt find any chip serial searching porggy or anything like dat.

here is a good article re RAM:

it looks like your RAM is EDO? right? cause it's seems pretty old to me,

[Tens0r]

yea its all old stuff . bout 10 sticks of ram and some old cpus like this 166.

Where did u get those stuff from? Do u live in Auckland? (find any P2/K6?)

read the first post

Tens0r, are you able to plug in the RAM and see how big it is and if it works, ? etc, that will save you heaps of time, instead of trying to find online info,

[Tens0r]

thing is i dont have a system to put it into otherwise i would have :/

its old stuff so i dont have old mobo to go with it.

looks to be 72pin EDO ram.

it has 8 silicon chips on it . any idea how much mb the ram is?

whereabout's are you?

for RAM, an EDO chip with 8 chips on it can be anywhere from 0.5 to 16MB.

Eg, I've got 2x4MB + 2x16MB EDO RAM on a P166@180.

most likely they are 4MB pieces, but you never know,

you can grab an old mobo for real cheap, like 10$,

[Wibber]

singleide, prolly 4mb, double sided prolly 8, 16 if your lucky.
If you post em to chch I'll test em for you, for a portion mind you :)

i've got 16MB piece, single side, :D right here,
but there is an 80% chance that they are 4MB ones,
