Filling out a KEEPER label

 * If there are any SDRAM slots, count and circle the correct number
 * Do the same for RAMBUS and DDR slots
 * (Some systems have both DDR and SDRAM slots.)
 * For AMD chips:
 * Circle AMD in the "Proc Type" section
 * Write the processor model number in the "Processor Information" area
 * For Intel and other chips:
 * Circle the processor type (or write next to "Other")
 * Write the processor speed in the "Processor Information" area
 * If the system can take more than one processor, check the Multi Proc Capable box
 * If the system has a dual core processor, check the Dual Core box
 * If the system did not POST successfully, check the Did not POST box
 * If there are any PCIe slots, circle PCI-e
 * If there are any PCI slots, circle PCI
 * If there is an AGP slot, circle AGP
 * If there is an IDE connector on the motherboard circle IDE
 * If there is a SATA connector on the motherboard circle SATA
 * Remember to put your initials in the appropriate box

Incompatibles

 * Amiga
 * Apple, etc:
 * Mac
 * Radius
 * PowerPC
 * PowerComputing
 * Umax Supermac
 * Commodore
 * DEC (Digital Equipment Corporation)
 * Sun
 * Silicon Graphics (SGI)
 * Indy (they're blue)
 * anything with the label RISC on it

There is no need to actually pull these components out at this point. (You will be instructed to pull them later on.)
