Current Goal

I'm looking for work, if you can help me find any. If you can't, I'd like to go anywhere else I might look. I'd like to go more places and more miles than my sibling, 486 SX!

About This Item

My mug shot

As you can see, I'm an Intel 486 DX. I'm a CPU; I do all the heavy lifting inside a computer. Well, I used to, anyway. A while ago, I got yanked out of my job and replaced by some kind of Pentium.

Since then, I've been wandering around from cache to cache, looking for work. Know any good motherboards looking for a CPU?

I got picked up from the Manhan Meadows II cache a while ago, and they put this tag on me. Just in case they need me back, they say.

I met this 486 SX after that. He says he's faster. I say I'm faster. So we bet. I figure I can cover more states and more miles faster than he can. Can you help me out with that, if you can't find me a job?

The SX seems to be lost at about 29,200 miles. This is DX's chance to catch up!

Picked up the bug and hopefully I can find it some work. Economy is tough right now.

A real "blast from the past!" I've swapped and installed countless CPUs through the years, so I <i>had</i> to grab this one! I'll move it soon. I doubt it will ever find hardware to occupy again, though!

  • Possible birthplace of TravelBug? Here&#39;s a shot just a few steps from where I dropped bug off. Intel Folsom Campus is just across the street. The bug that literally traveled coast to coast, only to be reunited with its possible creators.... Makes me all tingly inside.

Seen this guy and it just hit me. I'm a born n bred techie, and would love to deliver this guy back to a possible familiar home. Been meaning to cache around the Intel facility around my home, so I think I'll take this guy back and release him
