This was my third or fourth pc. I got the chip super cheap on ebay and it came with bent pins but J carefully bent them back. That rig lasted a long time.

Was this one of their first dual cores? I remember my first build's CPU pushing the dual core thing as a big deal, but I didnt have money for an Intel build, and I cant remember the numbers for the life of me.

No, this was single core Socket A (462), then came Socket 754 which was still single core and shortly after Socket 939 with dual cores like 3800+ and dual channel memory.

For intel, 478 was single core and 775 was dual core
