I picked up a P4 2.6 HT chip from a dell Optiplex system that had busted caps. Seems that there are a bunch built between 2003 and 2004 with bad caps!
I'd only need to get a MB to make something with it............
What to do ??????????........
Or is there a key chain in my future :D

It makes a very nice HTPC proc. As one guy said, get a simple CHEAP i865 and you be happy you didn't dump it. I have one on an Abit IC7-G downstairs in my Den pulling that HTPC duties. They also overclock to between 3.26 and 3.5GHz consistantly.
