Just thought I would let everyone see exactly what You get when You buy one of these cpus from here
http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/AMD-K6-III-400-ATZ … =item2c5638da3e

Obviously it has been literally desoldered from a laptop pcb. Solder blobs and slightly bent pins here and there meant It
doesn't go into the socket without doing some considerable work on it first. Fortunately it works fine at up to 600mhz on the
Epox board I have. I wouldn't recommend getting one if You have no soldering skills or patience.

It's stated clearly enough I think, though.

Mine came pretty clean, and I'm quite happy with it.

+1, though I wonder if worse contact could limit oc.

Nothing that a little desoldering wick and a fine tip can't fix.

That's exactly what I did, as well as some straightening of pins.
I posted this mostly as a friendly warning for people with no soldering equipment that what You get may not
just be able to be dropped into a socket and work.
