running out of steam...

I'm not playing this round, just thought I'd give Merovign a little jolt. 😀

I appreciate that stamasd. Despite having horrible insomnia the last two nights, I'm finally getting sleepy.

My last guess is 182 (as in Blink?).

As a courtesy to the morning crew, the following 13 lucky numbers are those that remain unused (THESE ARE NOT GUESSES):

154, 157, 160, 162, 165, 174, 176, 179, 183, 186, 188, 190, 195

So choose from that pool for your guesses (saves you from having to go through all the previous page and a half of entries).

Okay I lied slightly. 160.

*Now* I'm going to sleep.

Let me keep bidding for Merovign.

154.

remember that's not me, it's him. 😀

Next bid for Merovign.

157.

Last bid for Merovign from me, I have to go do errands.

186.

One more from my phone for Merovign.
188.

Merovign, through sheer luck you've won! Or was it your denial of service level of guesses? Hehe PM me your address or throw it in your pile over at Discord. You choose.

Yup I have no idea how he ended up winning. 😀

As Mae West is believed to have said, nothing succeeds like excess!

Insomnia is usually bad but has occasional benefits as well.

Or a quote from a video I was just watching, there's never too much overkill.

It was fun to watch you guessing 😀 I would have soldered the 2nd CPU socket for sure If I had such a mainboard.

BTW thanks liqmat for the CDs!

It's very likely not only the socket that is missing. I have a very similar board, and it also misses a whole bunch of passive components around the socket.

Cool. No worries. Glad you like.

Yep I know that. These parts are fairly common, so it's just a matter of skill and patience to solder them properly.

Yet another fun item from the great PPro hardware haul of 2018. This time we are going squeaky clean, sealed and new.

As always, to keep with the theme, a number between 150 and 200 (the range of speeds the Pentium Pro came in).

First correct guess gets the prize. Guess every fifteen minutes. Newbies can guess also, but I will be looking at their comments to see if they are actually true members of this forum since I don't want resellers or scrappers joining just to guess. Also remember, must have a U.S. mailing address for me to ship to since I am paying shipping. Cheers and good luck!

The prize is new old stock. Sealed in box.
