Congrats.
I've killed and revived one CPU in my life. P3 1GHZ broke 2 pins off around the edge. I forgot about it for a while and then decided that it couldn't hurt to try soldering the pins back on. I did that and it still runs like a beauty. A 1GHz processor is sure nice for a secondary box for Linux!!
And always remember, you probably aren't having enough fun unless you are breaking things from time to time 
<b>Just because I like AMD or Intel more at a time because of one product compared to another, does not make me a fan boy, it makes me a person who is able to make a decision for myself.</b>
