15 older towers with one surprise - Page 2

the first series of pentium 1 cpu's were flawed. the FDIV bug. intel replaced a large number of them back in 94 with an upgraded version that had one cap instead of the double cap.

Does that mean if you have a FDIV bug, you have something valuable ?

valuable? all depends on the date. but as so many of these were removed from the market by intel, and most of those left are being recycled for gold recovery, any future collectors will be interested in those that remain. cpu collecting is just like coin or stamp collecting.

think of all of the double caps that intel got back. gaylords of them. millions of dollars of scrap. all sitting in a little old gaylord.

Probably sat on the top rack at the back of a warehouse where nobody cares about it.
