    high end server boards ?

    I am going through the high end server boards from my whale one stash. these are commercial net work server boards about 16 " x 20 " most have dual intel or IBM xenon cpus probably 486 and some with dual pentiun 111 with 16 ram and some with gold foil 2x2" pinless receptors for cpus, I am trying to remember how to get the pictures here. these servers were from $5000 for Dell to $10,000 ea for IBM, are these boards worth more then avg motherboards

    Olddude, those are server board grade which is higher than motherboard to start with. They could be even better depending on what is attached to the board. are there any IC chips with gold caps attached to the boards?

    If they are simply server boards then they sell at the same level as finger cards (PCI boards).

    They sound like standard server boards....Will generally sell in the same area as finger cards....one step up from motherboards (through most buyers)

    OK no prob these things weigh a ton at least twice a normal lge mother board. + the first one I opned had 4 cpu and 16 ram weighing 1 1/4 lb. . Some of the servers are so heavy I cant even pick one up.

    Thats great....I love servers....The best one I have ever found had 4 Pentium Pro processors in it....Those are very rare but man alive they are great to find. Sounds like you have a nice load laying around down there Olddude....I always enjoy hearing what you find in your stash.
