This doesn't directly deal with Mersennes, except I planned on running mprime 24 hours a day on it, but maybe someone can help. I got an older pentium machine, working, but no OS (except the 4 files needed to boot dos6) no CD-ROM, no added cards, etc. I attempted to remove the heat sink from the cpu, but ended up with the cpu out too. The problem is that the heat sink is oversized, covering the zif-lever, and it seems to be glued to the processor. the "glue seems to be a waxy substance. Has anyone dealt with this stuff before, or have an idea how to get the processor seated without being able to lift the lever? _________________________________________________________________ Unsubscribe & list info -- http://www.scruz.net/~luke/signup.htm Mersenne Prime FAQ -- http://www.tasam.com/~lrwiman/FAQ-mers
