The White Dragon posted:Holy poo poo, CPUs used to look like that? I never built a tower until last year so I wouldn't have known, but... god drat. For a while intel and amd decided to use CPU slots but they were quickly phased out. Pentium 1s were sockets like you see today. I know some P3s were socket and some were slot also. Some of the 'older' processors had the die exposed on top unlike today.

0toShifty posted:That's actually a hologram sticker of what the die looks like. It is about 3 times larger than the actual chip. I took a pentium II cartridge apart the other day. The package itself was a FCBGA - flip-chip with ball-grid-array - and it can't really be taken apart. Wikipedia has photos of a slot 1 P2 with the cover removed: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pentium_II I wasn't referring to the P2. I am more referring the Athlon XP I had.  And by older I mean late 90s/early 2000s. My family's first PC was a 486.
