    Seems neato to me, but I had a SODIMM as a keychain for 6 months

    Let's face it, there are more than enough broken NV mobile GPUs to go around.

    I knew people who had 286's as keyrings, back in the day. I think it's too expensive at $9.99, but it's pretty cool...

    I've had one of these (top)...



    ...on my keychain for over six years. All the surface mount chips are long gone, though, so I'm left with just a PCB.

    Unfortunately, it looks like they don't do international shipping.

    Even if we wanted one, we couldn't get one

    You'd probably be able to get them on ebay after a while anyway. And if there's a market for them over here I can't see Nvidia turning their back on sales.

    Re: News - NVIDIA to immortalise G98 GPU inside a keychain

    isn't this what tiggerai wanted to do?

    somewhere in this thread she mentions about making a keychain or necklace but with AMD/ATI chips instead. NVidia must be reading HEXUS and got there before her. DAMN THEM!!

    Well they do seem to be packaged rather than just dice. So maybe!

    I'd rather get an AMD or Intel wafer mounted on my wall, they actually look pretty cool.

    This just seems a little sad..
