Filling out a KEEPER label
- Count the DDR slots and circle the correct number.
- 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 there are any SATA connectors on the motherboard circle the appropriate number
- Keep in mind that SATA ports my be directed parallel to the motherboard.
- If there are any IDE connectors on the motherboard circle the appropriate number
- Make sure not to count Floppy counters as IDE connectors. IDE connectors have 40 pins and pin missing in the middle. Floppy have 34-pins and 1-2 pins missing near the end.
- 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 is an AGP slot, circle AGP
- If there is an on-board video connector, circle OnBoard
- Remember to put your initials in the appropriate box
Incompatibles
NOTE: If a system has no brand name on it, then it is not on this incompatibles list.
- Amiga
- Commodore
- DEC (Digital Equipment Corporation)
- Sun
- Silicon Graphics (SGI)
- Indy (they're blue)
- anything with the label RISC on it
Exceptional Components List
- High Speed or Ultra Speed CD RW
- They must have a standard 5.25" rectangular faceplate and not be laptop-sized.
- A drive is only High Speed or Ultra Speed if it literally says "High Speed" or "Ultra Speed" to the right of the "Compact Disc" label.
- DVD Drive
- They must have a standard 5.25" rectangular faceplate and not be laptop-sized.
- Front side card readers, only if it includes a cable
- Gigabit ethernet card (Network Card marked 1000)
- Wireless card
- Power supply with a SATA connector
- Molex to SATA power supply adapter
- Molex to 6-pin power supply adapter
- Motherboard with SATA connector(s)
- A really cool case that some geeky kid would drool over
