hey everyone, just got done talking with Tony at Plycon computers, and the are getting trace tape made just for the XP's friday.
here are the details:
3 sets per pack. (you can do the chip 3 times with 1 pack).
each pack costs $24.95
traces are solid gold
raised in the middle to bypass the pits
so... these things look promising. people have noted that the trace tape in the past hasnt worked right, but after reading a bit, and noticing that its best to put a CPU pad spacer (the little round things on the edge of the chip) right on top of the tape. this presses it down when your HSF is attached, giving you solid contact. not to mention the whole deal is all gold contacts.
i WILL order a pack of these, but i will only need 1. if 2 other people want to contact me and pay like $6 each, i can share. (i will just ship in envelope, so i wont charge shipping).
