Guess what. besides the topic post...
Today, I went over to the electronic store to get a fan , because mine is 'bout shot. She said that the closest match she had was for a Pentium 3, but that I could probably make it work for a Celeron 500. Being the genius I am, I decided to go ahead and just take the fan and the heatsink and look at the amount of work it was going to take to get it done. Decided it was too much, and tried to put the chip back on, and start it up.
Now, I'm having to pay $25 to get the processor reseated and maybe the new heatsink and fan installed... Not a bad price, but i'm still an idiot.
