It's not exactly a CPU, but you're exceedingly close...

I know what it is, and I'll be danged if it won't come out of my head. It's going to kill me until the answer is posted, because I know exactly what it is. I've worked on computers now for a good 24-25 years and have seen these a bajillion times, and it's just not coming out.


Somebody needs to guess right so I can stop the demon in my head.

OK, I'll give it to you. This is specifically a CPU socket, but I guess it's still a "chip". I won't be that picky about this. :)


HOSTED PHOTO

I admit I was amazed to see it up close. It's a little liberating when you don't care what you do to a system board. This one got toasted by lightning this summer, so it's now a photo subject. The actual CPU is in another machine now. If anyone cares, it's a socket 775 on an Intel system board for a core 2 duo CPU. And yes, it has lint and dust on it, but who cares now? :lol:

Was that what you thought it was katodog??

Haven't looked under the processor in a long time. The hints were the only way to score a win.

That's exactly what I thought it was, but "Socket" just wasn't getting from brain to mouth. I've had so many apart and the word just wouldn't pop into my head.

And Chet, yours is a light bulb filament.

Well, crap, didn't plan on that going so fast. Give me a few and I'll dig up a good one...

Well, this is all I can come up with right now, don't have any genius ideas hitting me, so an old image on the 'puter will have to do. I have a funny feeling this will last about as long as the light bulb. But, this one has to be specific...
