I salvaged an Am5x86/133 CPU from some old equipment I'm throwing out. The funny part is right on the chip it says:
"Designed for Microsoft Windows 95"
...complete with a Windows logo.
Huh? How can a processor be designed for an operating system? Isn't it the other way around? I believe AMD processors were designed to be as Intel-compatible as possible; I doubt Windows had much to do with it other then precursory software testing.
It almost makes me hesitant to have this on my desk as a trinket; that ugly Windows logo will be staring at me the whole time!
Curses!!
