2. In order to get those they must be soldered from the board. Check with you buyer first as it might downgrade the board.
3. Thats a old slot processor. Take a screw driver and pry that plastic off.
Newer P4 boards had a metal bracket holding the processor in place, this must be removed when found. Behind all the plugins on most p4 boards is a massive heat sink that must be removed. North bridge heat sink over the built in graphics chip must be removed. Button batteries removed as well.
Most of the old boards had just 1 or 2 of these pieces to remove. Its all the new ones that change the regulation.
Thanks for your reply. I figured 2 wasn't anything to worry over, but better safe than sorry.
Also with 3, I will take the plastic off when I get home. As far as the rest of it goes, does it go with the normal PC Chip Processors, or is it classified as something else?
I do remove the heat sinks, fan motors, and other really big stuff. The other stuff, I just leave it alone.

Yeah that is exactly what i been doing but wanted to assure myself I was doing it right. Rather get most for the buck, instead of screwing my ownself over lol.

Thanks. Will do that when I get back home where the hard drive is at all.

ebay for sold listings, just do a search within ebay search box for quantum fireball (+model number), then when you get the list of results, on the left side you should find (they keep moving it around, and even hiding it, but it should be there somewhere) "completed listings only", then when you get to completed listings check out the ones in green (they're the ones that sold)
Will do that when i return home, and let everyone know the results for future references.
