Grading?

Got a handful of boards i'd like someone insight into the grade of. Still new and learning. Seems like every time I log on to the forum I find out about a new kind / grade of board =) If Im understanding past threads I've read the first picture is all "Backplane" which is a category unto itself worth more than boards out of CD-Roms and things, but not as much as PCI slot gold finger cards... right? lol

Other two pictures im just at a loss as to what they would be graded. Dont know if it shows up well in the first picture, but the large chip with sticker removed on one board is an EPROM. Not sure if a single EPROM would change the grade of the board or not.

haha, I was being rather carsastic there ; )

The boards with the red tops on them, i recall reading recently that under them may contain some small gold balls. The name of the part escapes me right now. Maybe someone can chime in.

They are called dip switches.

Unfortunately, you don't seem to realize, that has nothing to do with a photo which can't be seen ; )

You obviously haven't been there lately, but there's a new option with dialup, it includes no dialing sound , haha :)
