Built in CPU? Is it actually soldered to the socket?

Or do you mean "built in" as in it came with the motherboard?

the cpu is not built in, as the manufacturers website indicates:

the advert the guy saw is selling a cpu plus motherboard.. they fit the bits for you. point of caution here.. if the original poster is not aware to a requisite technical level (as indicated by his post; no offence) then having a compentent person fit the cpu is a good idea. it takes approximately 13 seconds for an incorrectly fitted athlon series processor to cook itself to death.

that is a very accurate time frame for Athelon cooking. My roomated tested the theory last night. :P


What's that burnt plastic smell coming from the living room, Jim?

I hear the whispering of a SCAM!!!!!!!!!!!! :m:

Where? I don't hear anything.

a side effect of having a curiously capable memory for some things.. like the last time i cooked an athlon, i remember i managed to get into the bios, into the cpu setup screen before it froze and died a death; a feat i reckoned i could accomplish in 13 seconds

how can something so small produce soo much heat.. :) can we make big ones and heat rooms with it?
