    What grade are these CPU's

    I was wondering how these chips were graded?

    Are these considered pinless or just regular ceramic? I wasnt sure since they were from servers.

    Update. So this is what i got today from the CL call.
    28.5 oz ceramic AMD opteron
    2.4 oz sun black/green fiber pinless
    15.2 oz large green fiber metal top xenon
    29.5 ox small green fiber metal top xenon
    19 oz ceramic sun pinless
    15.6 oz ceramic gold pin sparc 3

    Not a bad haul considering He also wanted to sell me about 200 pounds of server boards and another 80 pounds of riser cards. Couldnt come to an agreement on price on those though

    amasing I got almost the identical stack out of the servers I did yesterday including the 2 sin chips.
    my supplyer said there are still smaller companys out there that still use the old sun and old Ibm server networks because they cant or dont want to spend the money to up grade, and will pay big bucks for the parts, we need to figeure out how to find them.

    These are a low grade processor. They are worth less than a typical pinless because of the weight of the metal heatsink on top and the added weight from the ceramic substrate instead of the fiber.

    would $17/ lb be a good price for those?

    17/lb would be a great price. They usually sell for somewhere in the 8/lb range, you maybe able to get to 10/lb.
