    Has anyone ever seen these golden goodies?

    These were in a box of random stuff I got from a computer/electronics repair store. I have googled all of the words/numbers on them and all I can is a company(Agilent) that makes high end electronic measurement products. I have no idea what they came out of, but would appreciate and info on them before just throw them in a box for one of the buyers here.

    I worked for Agilent Technologies for a few years as a project manager managing 15 pc repair techs on the west coast. Agilent is a spinoff (subsidiary) company of Hewlett Packard, which is why you see both HP and Agilent chips on them. It was one of those "HP is getting too big of a monopoly in certain electronics so lets create a second company so the government doesn't come down on our asses". Agilent from what I know of build a lot of high-end medical scanning equipment (MRI machines, ultrasound machines, etc), did a lot of telecommunication circuits, and even had their hand in LED technology.

    I know this doesn't help you identify the chips, but it gives you a little insight on who Agilent is.

    I Googled the sequence HP 1QL4-0002 and got an link to CPU world where this chip was going for $22.00 in 2010, as well as an Asian site. The gold chip is obviously an antique so you might consider listing it for sale on Ebay or CPU World. Have fun.
