2.54 mm pitch is close enough to the .1 in "standard". The through-hole DIP chips will fit fine. I used to build stuff with .1 in perfboard, sockets, and wire-wrap but only use a very few glue chips now and pinboards. They don't have to be shot in rockets . . . My only bitch currently is with the absurd gaps in the Arduino boards Grrrrrr. Don
