[einride]

i need one for what is basically charity (building a reasonable computer for my dad)

so

have you got an amd cpu for socket am3, cheap or free? i want it

 

[Krilons Resa]

I don't know what that means. [/dorian]

I think this might be the worst place ever for such a query.

I get rid of any excess electronics almost immediately and haven't bought AMD in several years, sorry broheim.

i know but since this is one of the few places on the internet where i have e-buddies who might consider going to the trouble of mailing me an old processor, i thought it wouldnt hurt to ask

I have an old cpu that I don't use anymore and I believe it has an AMD but I still don't know wtf you are talking about.

Haha! Fuck! I was actually getting on this thread to post that.

i need just the cpu, only the actual processor chip

if you have that and can tell me what it says on it that would be helpful

if the machine is older than 2009 its not am3

 

[Krilons Resa]

Nevermind then. That shit is old.

i need some nootropics to break this thread doooooooown! [/DumbAmerican]

 

[ChaosLee]

Sorry man. Double checked and only have AMD from 2007and pentium so no dice

 

[swizzlenuts]

I have one, but I donated it to my parents when I built my newer PC.

 

[Krilons Resa]

Anyone ever build their own laptop?

 

[swizzlenuts]

I've never heard of anyone doing that. Is it even possible with normal tools?

Quick search at newegg didn't come up with buying laptop parts

 

[Krilons Resa]

That sucks.

would have checked my old machine which had AMD shit but it's definitely 2003 or sth...

 

[dorian gray]

That's it. I'm going to build my own laptop
