I was wondering if this is a palomino, its purple and has no stepping or information on it, other than the usual ASSEMBLED IN MALAYSIA, can anyone tell from my pic?

    Yes Tbreds have the black sticker.

    And what happened to the pore CPU?

    Looks like someone could use some rubbing alcohol.

    Nothings wrong with it, the motherboard died. The cpu is really messy because of all the thermal stuff still on it :o im too lazy to clean it off right now :)

    What does wcpuid show it as?
    If it shows up as an XP it's a T'bred but a T'bird also looks like that too.
    The palomino has a square core and all the surface mount caps and resistors are on the back of the die.

    I think this is an Athlon Tbird. Its not clear but you can see it on the core, also, tbirds were purple.

    Not a TBred... no Tbred has a ceramic package, afaik.

    It's either a duron or a thunderbird athlon.

    I had a brown T'bred based XP 1800 last march but I haven't seen any since that time.
    As to what it was made out of I have no clue but it wasn't the same material as a T'bird.

    That's not brown... it's grey. The brown ones are organic substrates of some kind (I think the green ones are too...). The grey ones are ceramic.

    Yeah I was looking closely at it and I can see where the bridges are connected on the surface of the chip.
    T'bird-I can make out the word athlon under the goop.

    You sure you're not colorblind? :D

    AMD never made a purple chip, afaik. Unless you're talking about the core, not the die. The CPU core is purple, yes. But the die is grey.

    I am 100% positive that this chip is purple, only other amd chips ive seen was the Athlon Xp's so i dont know, but this thing is purple

    EDIT//: correction, im colorblind :(

    correct me if i'm wrong. and show me some info.

    isn't core and die the same thing??

    The die is the raised edge in the middle of the cpu.

    here's a pic of an 1100 Thunderbird/200 chip that I've got laying around. under the right light, the ceramic package looks purple. Really.......It does!!

    Flint, I know it can look purple, since I had a couple of 1.4 TBirds, but normally, it's grey. A very blue-purple grey, but grey nonetheless.

    I know it's grey, but I was just offering some support!! Put it under flourescent light, in front of a monitor with the S-M Forums up on it and WHAMO!! It looks Purple!! Come on, go with me on this one!!! :confused2

    I was agreeing with you, actually.

    If I had it still, I'd try it. I don't tho... First one died inexplicably, second one I killed and AMD replaced with a 1700+

    Al_Capown had this to say
    Looks like someone could use some rubbing alcohol.

    For real! Clean the goo off and you can probably look up the stepping and find out what it is, if the speed doesn't give it away first.

    I get nervous twitches when I see CPUs covered in goo. I'm not obssessive compulsive (bad speller, yes, o.c., no), but I am totally psycho about cleaning the core before I re-goo and install a chip. :wtf:

    I got all the info :

    That any good?

    It's a 1 Ghz Athlon. Unless that's a fantastic stepping, you probably will only get 100-200 mhz OC out of it. And it'll run a little warmer than a Palomino. But hey, if it works, it works. 1 Ghz isn't stone age (yet :) ). I had a Duron 1 Ghz for a long time and it worked great.
