I have take a few of these apart, and just thinking... Are they worth CPU Chip, or What category?
Basically they are like a gold fingered slot card, but encased in a plastic case with heat sink attached. The do have IC card that is similar in size to a CPU chip.
I am just confused about where these end up in a sorting pile.
This is called a slot processor. Keep them seperated. I think they fetch close to RAM prices per pound.
slotted cpu's
P-II worth more then P-III
Look here for the difference:

Sam you are the man , as always. Thanks for the great information.
The slot cpus are worth the same in my book. I pay the same price as Gold memory for them.
Over here they go as High Grade board, at like 1/2 the RAM price...
**** local buyers LOL!
Easy to strip, but I haven't had any to process for a while...
P.S I have broken down some P-III servers, and they are a larger version of the same style of processor.
The only difference (in terms of materials) is the processor unit, PII cpu can yield 0.1-0.3 grams of pure gold per unit where the PIII will probably yield just a few miligrams.Quote:

here is a Pic I just took of some slot CPU's... (Left to Right) :)
