    CPU Chips

    I came across a find in a clean out for work .
    I have to take a close look at box .But a fast look yielded
    about 6 PENTIUM PRO unlike any I have seen each one can kinda fit in the palm of my hand
    plenty of 486 cpu's & others with a gold square 3/4 x 3/4 inch size on bottom surrounded by the pins
    plenty of Mem (old) some 9066 chip-sets



    But back to the Pentium Pro , I have the typical smaller size that the Square
    gold plate sits atop as a perfect square whereas these big plates have a gold
    rectangle gold plate .

    I used to post pics via SMF & I must of hit limit
    but I had an old Photo bucket acct , it's a bit mixed up but here are some pics
    I think if you like hamsters pics , my kids hamsters are also there But the hamsters are dead
    any how all the Chips as you see The Mem sticks have many with silver color fingers and typical gold
    Is there value to the silver finger Mem ?
    You know I have boxes and boxes of this kinda stuff except this is the first large Pent Pro's

    Yes the silver memory has value, you hit the jackpot with this one, from the pics that box to me is worth $160 usd. But now that gold is down its time to save it Till gold is back up. When gold was at 1600 a oz pent pro were going on ebay for 35-40. It takes 4.5 of them to make a lb so scrap value now is 17 ea if your going to scrap them. I recommend ewasted for scrap as ive sent half a dozen shipments to him and have had great service.
