I recently acquired an Athlon TBird 750 (200MHz FSB), a TBird 1200 AXIA-Y (266MHz FSB), and an IWILL KK266+ from a friend (a gift, used parts).
I just booted up after testing these using this PSU I'm on now (This CPU, plus KK266+, plus cheap vidcard plus keyboard, plus CPU).
I've tested both the 750 and the monster AXIA-Y, and neither booted. I thought it unlikely that BOTH chips were dead, but I'm not certain.
I've tried my mom's Duron (200MHz FSB), and it worked in the KK266+, whereas both Athlons didn't.
How can I know for CERTAIN that these 2 Athlons are dead? Is it possible one of the pins is bent just enough that it's not making contact (on both the chips)? The pins were pretty bad when I pulled the CPUs out of my friend's comp parts box (Stuff that he doesnt use anymore). I had to straighten almost half of them out.
Edit: I keep opening the box I keep my AXIA-Y in to look at it, again and again. Going over the stepping codes again and again. Shaking my head in disgust again and again. Such potential. Such waste. The fool who fried it should be made to SUFFER for this atrocity. Sacrelige! Blasphim! Traitor!
