    How long did it take you to load, unload, strip and sort it? Lots of early 486 and Pentium chips from the looks of it, nice haul.

    Yeah the chips were pretty much 386 and 486 processors...truthfully every thing was already broken down... Not sure what the company did that had them but everything was pretty much pre 1994... Literally took me and 2 of my guys maybe and hour to go through...
