Arg!!!

I have been wanting to upgrade my home Dual P2-400 machine for some time now. Rather than buying new CPUs, Motherboard and RAM, I have been looking for some faster processors (my motherboard supports up to 800mhz). Today I found someone selling two P3-750's. After some bargaining, we finally agreed upon a price. After verifying the CPU's were working, he warned me to be careful when installing them because the FCPGA's are pressure sensitive. I have built and upgraded many systems so I wasn't worried. When I got home I tried installing them but the machine wouldn't boot up. I noticed the tops had a blue smudge on edges (just what he warned would happen). Arg, I am afraid I might have ruined them!! It might be the slotkey I am using, I'll get a new one and hope they start working. Just wanted to vent some here. (sigh) Chris Hafey PS - Does C# have an assert() equivalent?

Normally I'd rant about being in the wrong forum, but I want to know the answer to this too, so I won't ;) Seriously, that's really bad news about the chips. What's a FCPGA ?

I suggest taking a look at the documentation for it though because it appears to be pretty powerful (automatic logging to file). James Simplicity Rules!
