Indeed, 300mh is pretty much useless. Right now I'm turbo-boosting my Jalapeno from 5gh to 24gh for about $125. Should be able to double my money on it, but that's about it.

How did you turbo boost your jalapeno with $125?

Chips are/were going on Ebay for $22 a chip+3 shipping or so. 4 chips is about $100.

Then I needed to buy an ATX power supply, $25 there. I have the Aoyue air heat SMD rework station, and I did have to spend $5.00 for a tube of flux.

With all that I plan to put two more chips on the Jally CPU board, fire up and test, then add two more to the other side so I am running 6 chips in a pair of 3 row maticies.

The issues are power (solved by the bigger power supply, the power supply sold as a part of this is a joke, need 12 volts at 8 amps or so at least) and heat. I'm going to put the resuting system in the shed for the winter (in case it burns up) but I think the fan plus <40 F temps should keep it under 65c (which is what the um... singles seem to run at).

We shall see.
