matt1 said:I'll be having nightmares tonight.. yeesh. Did you put it in the wrong way initially or something? I've never had a problem with installing a socket 939 chip, just make sure the little lever is up, drop the CPU in (should see it fall into the holes) and push the lever down.
Nice results there mate. You ran SP2004 for almost the exact same amount of time I did for my CAB2E, freaky, spiritual bond?
Sold mine now, was a good chip, but I want 3G so hopefully getting my mitts on a 146.
Yeah i think initially i put it in the wrong way and must have bent the pins, it went in, but one side was raised a little, i ignored this (couldnt really distinguish it as a substantial "raise"). Mounted CPU block, booted but got a blank screen, LED's deiagnostics read "internal memroy error". At that point i was like "****" .
Took me ages to straighten the pins, you need huge amounts of paitence.
