Quad core cpu

[robwhit]

the CPU in your system is your AMD Athlon or Intel Pentium (etc). The rest of the chips are "periferals".

I thought that the peripherals were the boards connected to the motherboard. Perhaps it has another meaning?

Sorry you and matsp are wrong on this matter. The original use is so old that I won't get into it with you, but that was its original meaning

I'm curious what you could come up with.

No, no... you know. The old days.

What the heck is that? Looks like a wheel.
