Blown plenty of those, back in the day - 9 chips in row, 8 legs to a
socketed chip -- 4 or 8 banked rows provided on a MB. Dare breathe on
them on an inauspicious day, and the gods would decree that enough to
blow off one or two chips, loosing a bank or two of memory. Yep -
baggies of spare chips for propitiating bored Gods of electron valence
with their version of 52-pickup.
