Rummaging around my room yesterday and I stumbled across a very old CPU that I had neatly bagged up with it's foam padding for the pins. It is an AMD Sempron of some variety (can't remember the specs from when I used it) and I think it works considering I bagged it up properly. Question is, what do I do with it? I could try to get people to donate some ancient hardware that is compatible with it and put together an antique build with Win98. I could take an idea from OC3D's book and make a key fob out of it as it looks cool, but I would feel a little sad drilling a hole in such a feat of engineering, especially considering it's age. Ideas?
What to do with an old CPU?

Yeah, the key rings are pretty popular! I'll see if I can get some old parts in, if not I'm reaching for the drill! Found out it is a socket 462 CPU, it's a AMD Sempron 2400+ and runs a 1.66GHz which isn't half bad! Better than my laptop at least! Would do for a file server if I can find the rest of the parts.
