168 of them in fact...

What the heck am I going to do with all these? Keychains perhaps?

Thing is, I really don't know. The chips have no pins on them but ball grid array connectors so I assume theyre for laptops, but I have no way to ID them.

They were made in/around 2002... so they might not be too bad!

Too bad those numbers on them don't turn up results... the die doesn't have any writing on them?

They might be some one-off chips or something!

Even five bucks times 169 is a good chunk of change

I still haven't decided what to do with all these chips...

Right now they are just sitting on a shelf with the trays stacked.

On the other side of the coin, I also got an older Dell Rackmount server I've been toying around with and boy is it loud!
