Searched this site and the web. Can't seem to find this one.http://www.flickr.com/photos/9246892...ream/lightbox/ http://www.flickr.com/photos/9246892...ream/lightbox/ Took pics of a 486DX next to it for reference.
BTW the Pentium is kind of weighty.
Not sure where the pics went. Here is a link to them

Intel Pentium double gold cap
Pentium 60, first Pentium CPU came in 5VDC and larger then the later Pentium models (Socket 4 motherboard).
Unfortunatly it does not have the FDIV (FPU bug), if it did it would be worth somer $$$ to collectors since most were returned to Intel for non FPU bug chips.
Cool Thanks. Did a little more digging with that info and it looks like it pays a little better than a pro, but I'm not gona be quitin my day job.
Is this something I should be selling on ebay or just hold on to it and sell it with the other processors for the gold content?
I would hold onto it until you have enough experience to know what is best for you. The answer has to do with you being happy selling on ebay. Frankly I am holding onto the two Pentium Pros I have now and might not sell for a long time since they are rare for me to find. Mike.
And they are only gonna get rarer as most of the ones found are being scrapped out at a very fast pace
So are the motherboards they go into.Quote:

You should hold onto that one and put it in a safe place for the future.
I still have the motherboard it came out of. but it is mixed in with all the other boards I have. Boxes of them. Not sure I could figure out which one it came out of. No idea if either were in working condition.
Quite a few P60/66 CPUs overheated and died since OEMs tended to just glue a heatsink to them and had a case fan blowing over it (which tended to get gummed up and slow down/die over time). Those CPUs ran kind of hot, I only have a couple early Pentium systems working (they didn't sell for long and they were extra pricey new).
As far as finding the motherboard, that large socket 4 is hard to miss (should say socket 4 on it), but untested I don't know what it would sell for on ebay.
