: where do i find the model of my amd 64 athlon

[BIGDAN001]

Hello,
I found a tiny AMD 64 Athlon in a rubbish skip i thought my mate could use sum of the parts inside for spares or repairs because it was in a skip i thought it would be broken!! hence it being in a skip!!
but when i got it home i was curious to have a look inside because the outside was in very good condition.
i opend it and all the insides looked really dusty so i adapted my hoover with a bit of tubing and cleared the dust out and compared to my g,friends computer it a hell of a lot more full up than hers which im guessing is good???
but has got a few wires and connectors left about inside how do i tell what needs to go bk on what??? if at all!!! can someone PLEASE help me as i know NOTHING about computers
THANKS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I follow some Simple wisdom which works 90% of the time when building a PC, "If it looks like it fits, then it probably does".

You also said you wanted to find out the CPU model, easiest thing to do is once you get it working, just right click my computer an go to properties.

On the chip there should be an AMD part number (AMD OPN). For example, I have an A64 3200+ with this OPN: ADA3200DKA4CG. Take the OPN and Google it or get stats on the chip here: http://www.hardwaresecrets.com/article/All-Athlon-64-Models/272/2

Do us a favor, we love pics of salvaged rubbish. Post pics of the inners of the rig and we'll help you out. Plus we get to enjoy the pics and you get to enjoy the salvaged parts...
Sweet deal eh?

Of course please see to it that the pics are properly focused on written stuff that printed on the mobo, cpu etc etc and dust free so it's legible and looks nice...
